Doesn't Apple do the "The Best _____Ever?" for every new product? Oh I see what they did there: "The Best Windows YET".
- doesn't every company do that when they improve on a product?monospaced
- Yes, but we are not talking Tide or Coke here. We are talking two rivals and one is know for that type of tagline.ArmandoEstrada

- Wait, what? I thought I'd just read they were distancing themselves from 'one platform' between mob and desk?detritus
- One at the right time. So same platform, custom experience. So no more shoe-horning a tablet experience onto a desktop.ETM

Q: Can you talk about the name? Seems weird going from Windows 8 to Windows 10.
A: This product, when you see the product in your fullness I think you'll agree with us that it's a more appropriate name.

“Even the Windows command prompt got an upgrade, finally gaining text selection and standard copy and paste shortcuts.”
YES.
Multiple Desktops will be handy too .. although I'm fairly sure the Amiga had these back in the early 90s.
Oh, RIP Workbench...
- And most Linux distros have had multiple desktops for years too.ETM
- Amiga was so ahead of the MS/Apple curve. If they could have gained market share, computing would be much further ahead.ETM
- ahead. They were 5-10 years ahead. 3D modeling when PCs had 16 colors.ETM
- PCs were basically trash until Win 95animatedgif

It's easy to forget that most people use Windows and not Mac.
