And with this in mind, it is very clear that Windows 10 isn't just another major new Windows release. It is inarguably the most audacious release in the history of the platform.

I don't state that lightly.

Guess who posted:

Windows 8 isn't the biggest release since Windows 95. It's the biggest Windows release, ever

microsoft is hoping that people might start finally buying the xbox one as a secret pirated movie player, not realizing that you could accomplish that for years with devices that are far, far cheaper
