Windows 10 Preview!!

Windows 8 was a semi success in that when it was first created, people weren't too used to have a Windows computer with a start button that opens up on the bottom left corner of the screen. However, today anybody that has a Windows 8 computer will say that it is very easy to use, even if it isn't touch screen (at least that is what I say). 

Recently, Microsoft has announced their newest Windows operating system, WIndows 10! Now, it is strange for Microsoft to jump from Windows 8 to Windows 10, but they do have their reasons. The main reason why Microsoft has skipped to Windows 10 is because the name "Windows 9" ran into problems with code that was used as a shortcut to detect when apps are running on Windows 95 or Windows 98.

But now back to the main topic, Windows 10. As the preview shows, Microsoft has decided to revert back to the original start screen, which has a start button on the bottom left of the screen and when pushed, a menu appears. Additionally, features of Windows 8 have been retained like charms, but Microsoft says that more change is coming. 

Windows 10 is now available to download as a beta, but be aware that there will be plenty of bugs.
