As a "supposed" to be desktop/laptop based OS, this,

There is also talk of Cortana (Microsoft’s Siri-like personal assistant) making it into Threshold.

may prove to be very interesting, in personal and business environments.
 
One OS that will scale automatically to the device/hardware it's loaded on.

And the Start menu will make a welcome return.

Pure win. :)

This version might get me to upgrade ...

In essence, as per my understanding:

Win 8.x (mobile)
Win 9.x (desktop)
Win 10.x (cloud / OSaaS)

No real upgrade really, they are now developing hardware-orientated operating systems. Win 10 is a hurdle in countries where no Azure datacentre is in existence, however MS already have a plan in motion.

How often do you format? I find Windows updates as annoying as the next person does, but the big updates are once in a blue moon.
 
Hopefully we will also get Office 2015 with a dark or blue theme. :eek:
 
Let's hope MS found some developers with a combined IQ > 20 this time around. Only the monster living in your toilet bowl can stomach the crap that is Win 8.*.
