I'm surprised no one else has pointed out that this:
Quote: The report shows that 27% of those who filled out the survey have already upgraded to Java 8,
21% of those who already upgraded to the latest Java version are using it in production,
Means that Java 8 has less than a 5% market share where it really matters (in production).

According to Microsoft veteran Gabriel Aul, the company’s “intent” is to let testers update from TP to RTM (release to manufacturing) when the latter firmware is available for the masses. No burning the machine to the ground? What wizardry is this?

Heck,the first update failed for me so forget a rtm version.
|
|
|
|
|
So I can basically start using Windows 10 now? Cool!

I'd be cautious; as noted in the article itself:
Quote: Either way, it’s good to note Gabe Aul’s very specific and cautious phrasing in regard to the RTM update possibility. “Intent” is a long way from certainty, and until seeing the magic upgrade button, it’s best to not believe what seems too good easy to be true.

Blast! If they confirmed this they could get Windows 10 market share higher than 8.1 before it's even released.

better to under promise and over deliver than the other way around.

But the emphasis on rival OSes, making Windows seem second fiddle, will be temporary, say analysts. "These children that you spit on as they try to change their worlds are immune to your consultations"
|
|

|

According to the author, it's temporary in the sense that roughly a year to a year and a half later we will get the same features on Windows 10 and the new touch Office that are available for iPad NOW. He then goes on to quote that "This also means that Windows platforms are likely evolving more slowly anyway." 
So then how is that "temporary"? In the 12-18 months until you get a comparable Windows version of an existing iOS release, if Windows now evolve slower, when does the catch up occur?

Hmmm... Only the 5.0 (Lollipop) platform supported though? That's what it looks like.
Well, more to download and fill up my hard drive so that is all good. 
Hopefully it's terabytes at least.

I'm pretty sure that's not the case, was messing around with this the other day (but not this version, the one before) and was able to target any version of Android.
They make it clear that the older the version the more users can use your stuff, but the less features framework-wise you will have access to, and show you a percentage based on the selected version.

That's good news. I will try it soon.
Thx

No, it means upto Lollipop out of the box.
