Your time will come, if you let it be right.

Well I could in Windows 8 but I could not use the Store-Apps, nigher make them using VS. But I could not give up on notepad++.

Why on earth would you want to do that?
I run Notepad++ on Windows 8 with no issues with UAC at all.

I have hope on this, if Microsoft will actually make it possible that coding once and can be use on all platform.

This reminds me of those television commercials that claim this show is the new hit TV drama of the year, kind of like NCIS New Orleans, or the Crazy Ones that got canceled.
Multiple desktops would be cool to have, but I run Windows 8.1 now and I have 2 of them already.
I'm not sure about the quadrant thing. Having 4 programs run and display in perfect rectangles, hmm, will I have to get a 64 inch monitor for that? or 2 of them.
I've never bought an app from the Microsoft App Store, nor have I been to the store.

This version is not much better than Windows 8 and still does not work the way I do.
They also moved the location of the IE temp files.

Vista!?
You are mis-guided my friend.

I don't care to share everything with everyone and find the multitude of sharing settings to kill them.
I also don't like having to keep killing popups wanting to tie everything to my Microsoft ID or facebook, twitter, ect.
I also just noticed that the version number returned by windows 8 is the same version number returned by windows 10
6.2.9200.0
Using
OSMajVer = Environment.OSVersion.Version.Major
OSMinVer = Environment.OSVersion.Version.Minor
|
|
|
|
|
The introduction of this article[^] explains the reason for that.
Basically, Environment.OSVersion.Version uses GetVersionInfoEx , which is depreciated on Windows >= 8.1, always returning 6.2.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

Thanks I forgot about that.
I went back and wipped up a Win32_OperatingSystem app and checked again.
And got this.
Caption : Microsoft Windows 8.1 Enterprise Evaluation
Version : 6.3.9600
Caption : Microsoft Windows Technical Preview for Enterprise (Windows 10)
Version : 6.4.9841

I just noticed something which might as well explain the name "Windows 10" ...
You could even regard the Version as Major + Minor to get a more or less accurate naming scheme
6.1 => 6+1 => Windows 7
6.2 => 6+2 => Windows 8
6.3 => 6+3 => 6 + 2 + 1 => Windows 8 + 1 => Windows 8.1 (thus Windows 9 was actually Windows 8.1 )
6.4 => 6+4 => Windows 10
But anyways. I think Microsoft said they won't increase the major version anymore as long as they don't really break the backwards compatibility. They last increase was from XP to Vista and it rendered a lot of software incompatible just because they were checking for the major OS version (without actually having any reason to do so). What Microsoft basically tells us is: "Most software written for Windows Vista upwards should work on Windows 10 without issues" [citation needed]. (And I don't think that's a bad thing)
(insert conspiracy theories here)

Just like any new version some stuff just is not used anymore.
When I tried WMI Win32_ OperatingSystem created on Vista and ran it on Windows 10 it threw a error.
Either a name was changed in the property or it is was no longer used in Win 10.
Small things like that will change. Along with the underlying C/C++ being depreciated.
I've Tested my programs made on Vita in 7, 8 8.1 and now 10.
The only problem is that the .Net framework 3.5 is not installed by default in 8 & 10
I think you figured out the way the versions were chosen.

If I'm going to spend many hours at the terminal I'll be damned if I'm going to look at their ugly [Marc]etch-a-sketch[/Marc] UI. I hate it and I'll either outlive the fad and wait till they do or die.

I'll have an opinion when I actually try it. So far, I've only seen a couple of screenshots.
