Microsoft has unveiled their newest operating system, Windows 10. Windows 10 succeeds Windows 8 and is set to be released in 2015. The company decided to skip Windows 9 to put emphasis on its innovation and the advances they’ve made. The company promises that Windows 10 will be easy to use regardless of what system customers are currently using. Microsoft’s goal, with this new operating system, is to bring all their services together and establishing a system centred around a world of internet services. This news broke only a week after Apple had released their newest operating system, IOS 8. This news has captivated many Windows users.

I found the idea of naming this new operating system Windows 10 instead of Windows 9 to be crafty and perhaps has made this product more marketable. Even to those who aren’t so tech savvy, such as myself, this captures their attention. This new operating system promises to easy for all to use and has taken the best parts of all past systems to put them into one. Windows 10 is being released 3 years after Windows 8. Personally, I think Microsoft’s marketing ploy has built up this new operating system and therefore, it will succeed and gain customers once it is released.
