Microsoft has said….
Windows 10 will provide a consistent user experience
across smartphones, tablets and PCs
• Project Spartan – a new Browser (replacement for Internet Explorer)
• Cortana – voice-activated virtual assistant
My digest of the Windows 10 Technical Preview is available here
How much will it cost?
• Windows 10 will be FREE for Windows 7 and 8 owners
• For the first year after launch, anybody running Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 will be able to upgrade to Windows 10 for free. It’s a classic move from Microsoft, as it helps people sell computers and laptops now, with consumers safe in the knowledge that they’ll get the new OS when it launches for no additional cost.
