    Quote: "Windows 10 represents the first step of a whole new generation of Windows."

    You know, this is almost exactly how every version of Windows has been described, from the beginning to the present. I would have much preferred to hear something original: "The new windows is so much better in fact that there's no longer any reason to buy anti-virus and anti-malware software to deal with its defects."

    Why can't they just release a patch for Windows 8? Does a new start menu really warrant all this?

    as now I am getting:

    >The service is unavailable.

    or

    >Error establishing a database connection

    I hope Microsoft servers run not on Windows 10 :-X

    Looking at the features, all I can think was, "Don't I already have all of this in KDE?"
