Microsoft today confirmed that Windows 10 is the next version of its operating system, thus skipping Windows 9 and going directly to a completely new operating system that also signals a fresh start for its modern platform.
Terry Myerson and Joe Belfiore took the stage in San Francisco to present the new Windows 10, revealing quite a lot of changes for an operating system that’s expected to be a game changer for the Redmond-based tech giant.
“Windows 10 represents the first step of a whole new generation of Windows. Windows 10 unlocks new experiences for customers to work, play and connect. Windows 10 embodies what our customers (both consumers and enterprises) demand and what we will deliver,” Microsoft said.
“Windows 10 will deliver the right experience on the right device at the right time. It will be our most comprehensive platform ever.”

First and foremost, Windows 10 will bring back the Start menu, but obviously with quite a lot of improvements, including a refreshed modern look that’s very similar to the one presented by the company at the BUILD 2014 conference earlier this year.
