Microsoft to launch Windows 10 on July 29

NEW YORK (AP) — Microsoft will launch Windows 10 on July 29.

The upgraded operating system will allow users to switch seamlessly between personal computers, tablets, smartphones and other gadgets. Windows 10 is intended to give apps a similar feel on all devices and comes with a new Web browser integrated with Cortana, the company's voice-activated answer to Apple's Siri.

Microsoft Corp. say Monday that Windows 10 will be available as a free upgrade for a limited time for anyone whose devices use Windows 8/8.1 or 7, which are previous versions of the software.

Shares of the Redmond, Washington-based company added 24 cents to $44.85 in Monday premarket trading.

Windows mobile is dead, you need to move on to using some other phone.

 

[Adecypher]

Now you have to do beta testing for them...and report bugs and compatibility issues with your existing MS Products.

Microsoft Windows still surviving after almost 3 decades. But, is there a decrement in the followers number? is the graph going south?

i think windows mobiles are very good then android in battery performance, speedy working and no lagging thats why windows phones don't need bigger rams.

Microsoft will sooner or later shutdown mobile unit. They are writing off the nokia acquisition.

Microsoft To Fire 7800 Employees; Write off $7.8B In Nokia Deal As Part of ‘Restructuring’ Their Mobile Business
Future Plans?
This step is a clear indication that Microsoft will not push for their Windows based mobile phone business, but rather concentrate on building an eco-system of their application and hardware. As of now, Windows based phones account for only 3% of global market, and their market share is not showing any signs of improvement in near future with Android and iOS firmly establishing their presence.

After using one of microsofts early version (7.1 and mango release), have decided never to buy microsoft one again. Nokia hardware is superb, but their microsoft mobile OS sucks big time. No large application eco system, small features taken for granted like copy-paste was missing in initial release. Then the usual trick of not giving SD card slot and not able to save contacts into sim.

Lumia is good hardware from nokia, sadly it will soon fade away. If Nokia had android .......

i think windows mobiles are very good then android in battery performance, speedy working and no lagging thats why windows phones don't need bigger rams.

Yes , they are fast and dont eat up ram like android. Reason is I believe is because it is a monolithic OS whereas android is like micro service.
But microsoft does not open up much apis unlike android. So not many thirdparty apps to kill the OS or make it slow.

Yes, and you can enjoy the beta version too until the final version comes out by signing up windows insider program.

This is propaganda news.
Don't be surprised if big companies currently using android move towards MS 10 mobile in near future.
The next best use for Androids will be to keep your kids happy.
