Microsoft Employee #1 Our new OS is Windows 10. Look, right across the board, ten, ten, ten and...
Microsoft Employee #2 Oh, I see. And most OS' only go to 9
Microsoft Employee #1 Exactly.
Microsoft Employee #2 Does that mean it's better ? Is it any better?
Microsoft Employee #1 Well, it's one better, isn't it? It's not nine. You see, most blokes, you know, will install nine. You're on nine here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on nine on your laptop. Where can you go from there? Where?
Microsoft Employee #2 I don't know.
Microsoft Employee #1 Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
Microsoft Employee #2 Call it Windows 10?
Microsoft Employee #1 Exactly. One better
Microsoft Employee #2 Why don't you make nine better and make that the new OS?
Microsoft Employee #1 [pause] Our OS is now Windows 10

 

[plasmawave]

MS has a problem counting numbers.

 

[Poodlestrike]

That actually sounds useful! Like what specifically?

Pasting directories in.

EDIT: Or, rather, Ctrl+V in the command prompt.

 

[UnluckyKate]

they mean X ? right ? oh...

 

[CurlySaysX]

WindX would be ideal.

Cleaning the tiles stink for good.

 

[dorikyasu]

WindX would be ideal.

 

[Platinum_D]

That is a big leap lol

 

[orava]

Touch functions like charms are still there for tablets which is great.

 

[Athreous]

I want it *-*

Any beta incomming?

 

[eso76]

Oh, great so they are only releasing the 'bad' windows now.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

I remember reading that there was a free upgrade for 8 users is that still the case? if so SOLD.

I thought the accidentally leaving eleven in made it funnier.

able to Ctrl+V into them

 

[fredrancour]

Goddamn. Nintendo still takes the crown for poorly-named products in general, but microsoft puts up a good fight with its willful rebellion against the confines of numbers.

 

[PFD]

Pasting directories in.

EDIT: Or, rather, Ctrl+V in the command prompt.

I've always hated the absence of that feature

 

[SerTapTap]

Ctrl v in cmd, fucking a. Sold

 

[wapplew]

So, after windows 10, will they call the next windows...X1?

 

[blitzcloud]

Why is 6 afraid of 7? Because 7 ate 9.

 

[Mr_Irish]

 

[nullset2]

Windows 10: So good, we skipped a version number!

Just like winamp.

 

[StuBurns]

So, after windows 10, will they call the next windows...X1?

WDX Puma

 

[IcyRhythms]

Well, I'm pretty excited. Anyone using 8/8.1 are getting 10 for free, so, that's also a great thing.

 

[Xav]

So, after windows 10, will they call the next windows...X1?

No, it will be called Windows 9.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Windows 10: So good, we skipped a version number!

Just like winamp.

it really whips the llamas ass.

 

[Durante]

Pasting directories in.

EDIT: Or, rather, Ctrl+V in the command prompt.

That's more useful for me than everything in Windows 8 combined!

Double increment justified!

 

[Methamatics101]

So, after windows 10, will they call the next windows...X1?

Windows X-2, a'la Sqeenix?

 

[Papercuts]

Hahaha, what the hell.

 

[Kriken]

Glad I haven't taken Windows 8 yet, thought about getting it to upgrade to 9 lol

 

[Zeyphersan]

So, after windows 10, will they call the next windows...X1?

The guy actually made a joke that one of the names they were considering was Windows One

 

[rtcn63]

It's gonna be a new coke thing where ten will end up disappointing, and MS releasing the already-prepared Windows 9 to save the day.

 

[YuriLowell]

That actually sounds useful! Like what specifically?

I cant find any information!

I mean powershell is the improved command prompt.

 

[Woffls]

So, after windows 10, will they call the next windows...X1?

Windows 10 Plus. Shortened to Windows XP.

 

[ebullientprism]

Two pages in and I am already sick of the 7 ate 9 jokes. Gonna be a long few years coming up.

 

[Nintendojitsu]

One better. I lol'd

 

[Confidence Man]

Should've just gone back to Windows One.

 

[Maximilian Kolbe]

Seems XB1 UI will change again?

 

[Gaz Pwnage]

able to Ctrl+V into them

Wow, no more having to Right Click > Paste.

Day One.

 

[Molemitts]

Is this a new trend? Corporations giving their products awful names?

 

[Rivitur]

I don't.. My brain can't even... *explodes*

 

[orava]

I hope i can use that full screen start screen in desktop/mouse mode too.

Also, what's so hard to understand about that naming?

 

[Neiteio]

Pretty much sums up this announcement

OK, who is this guy with the wide eyes? I see him in so many GIFs, and he always cracks me up. I know pro wrestling is scripted, but I have to imagine so are this guy's reactions, they're too perfect, lol.

 

[fedexpeon]

I want to throw up...That is A HUGE BAR!
I don't understand why MS can't understand that people like folders on top of folders for organization.

 

[afternoon delight]

I find this way more funny that it probably is, but yeah- genius marketing concept right here, millions were thrown at this strategy.

 

[Mariolee]

I cannot stop laughing.

 

[GeoramA]

This disrespects the best Final Fantasy game, FFIX.

 

[Wreck-It Ralph]

good

Could somebody explain to me why people have such an attachment to the Start menu? What does it do that the Start screen doesn't do better?

Thank god. I hate the Windows 8 layout, it's complicated more than anything.

But it really isn't complicated at all. Once you clear out all the stuff you don't use, it just becomes a nice, clean screen with quick access to all the programs you use, and it's only one key or click away.

I feel like people who complain about the Start screen have never actually used it.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Seems XB1 UI will change again?

I don't think any of the UIs on display are final, but it's certainly possible. If nothing else, I'm expecting themes or something by the end of the year.

 

[SerTapTap]

Is this a new trend? Corporations giving their products awful names?

New Windows

 

[RoadHazard]

Hey... what?

 

[tfur]

Free updates to Windows 9...
