Instead of announcing the next version of its iconic
operating system in front of a massive crowd of
thousands, Microsoft chose an intimate venue with 50
or so reporters to launch the new Windows, which it's
calling Windows 10. The company looks at the new
number (yes, it skipped a number) as an indication of
the direction it's taking with the OS; Microsoft says it'll
be "the most comprehensive platform ever," featuring a
full range of products that'll be placed under the
Windows 10 umbrella as part of "one tailored
experience." That means it will support everything from
the "Internet of Things" to enterprise servers, taking
advantage of responsive design. Microsoft's Joe Belfiore
showed off an early beta version of the new Windows on
stage, which looks very much like the leaked
screenshots we saw not too long ago;
Belfiore says that
they wanted to bring the familiarity of Windows 7 and
combine it with the functionality of Windows 8.
