Microsoft announces Windows 10 release set for this summer
In a blog post on the Windows website, Terry Myerson, head of Microsoft's operating systems team, didn't elaborate on the release time frame beyond saying it was shared at the Windows Hardware Engineering Community event in Shenzhen, China, today. The time frame aligns with an earlier Neowin report that the company is planning to finish the operating system in June to ready it for consumer consumption.
While specific territories weren't provided, the announcement of 190 countries likely means all major consumer markets will see a roughly simultaneous release.
Windows 10 will be a free upgrade for consumer devices with Windows 7, Windows 8.1 or Windows Phone 8.1 in its first year, though businesses will have to pay for enterprise operating system upgrades. Computer users can currently test the preview version of the operating system, while a select number of Lumia smartphones can test its mobile version, with support for more phones coming soon.

iStussy Fantastic that it is a free upgrade because this will generate more feedback. I think Windows 10 will be a really clean OS that the true lovers of Windows 7 can finally work with.
Its like Win 7 and Win 8 mashed together but even better so It should be really cool.

I like how they're offering everyone in China W10 for free regardless if they have a pirated version of Windows or not.

RS4 Windows 8 was bad enough IMO
I dont understand how it was bad I found it the exact same as Win 7 just more features and the start menu is different. I have been using Win8 for over a year now and it is fine imo.

It's an interesting move on Microsoft on letting pirated versions of Windows being allowed to upgrade for free for the first year.
