Kindly put the screenshot in a spoiler, thanks in advance.
Interested in Windows 10 quite a lot myself, will play around with it very soon.

I've put it in a spoiler, although it's a small image now that I resized it.

How did you get the OS early? Or are you just posting others screencaps of the OS? I personally, can't wait to test this out on a VM and take a look as I completely disregarded Windows 8 and stuck with 7.

Thanks, it looks beast as, installing it ASAP as I hate the Microsoft Integration with W8.

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on my desktop, and plan to keep it for a while; unless this update is fantastic.
It's interesting nonetheless that Microsoft chose to skip 'Windows 9' after there had already been some press releases and discussions on it.

It's a screenshot from another page. I'll post a video on installation once I can download it and put it into a VM.

I have not seen Windows 9 yet and now here comes Windows 10..
* - brian188246 - Sep 30, 2014
It seems pretty cool, I am curious why they skipped Windows 9.
I probably won't install it because it'll be hard to have a buggy computer in college, but I used to install these for every release.

I am disappoint. I thought that there would be more graphical changes...
And what the hell happened to Windows 9?
* - Cyrus - Oct 1, 2014
Why Windows10, why no Windows9 😧
* - Hire - Oct 1, 2014
Windows 8 is really bad to me, will be upgrading as soon as possible!
* - Tranquility - Oct 1, 2014
It's a joke from Microsoft guys.
Windows 7 8 (ate) 9, thus 10 is next.
