Microsoft finishes Win-8, calls it Win-10

I have to say 'Thank You' to Tom, over in New York, for pointing this out to me this morning. So Thanks, Tom!

Anytime Microsoft wants our Feedback, all they have to do is restore to the Desktop that cute little icon we had in the Beta versions of Windows 7 - and over ten million of us gave them enough feedback with it to keep their people reading comments for the next 20 years! So I hope they know what they are asking for, putting it back into this 'Under Construction' version of Win-10.

And whatever happened to Windows 9? May I offer my own theory? The free operating system (yes, I said 'free'!) PC-BSD 10 is now in its '10.3' iteration, and already has some of these features Microsoft is bragging about adding to Windows 10. "Like what?" you ask. Like your choice of up to four Desktops each with their own features according to your choices. And something more than Windows has: a system now for automatically upgrading the whole operating system quarterly. It downloads and installs all the required files for you without any of your personal involvement except to do a system Reboot after everything has finished. No manual downloads of an ISO, no burning of that to a disc, and no DVD Drive required to play that for installation. It all happens internally within the already-installed system and its source website. No muss, no fuss, no bother. - Did I mention? Windows still can't do this! Not even after I've suggested to them that they should look into this and see how nicely it works. 

Maybe, they had a problem, because PC-BSD doesn't use the same formatting of the hard-drive partition normally used by Microsoft. They don't communicate and that might have been Microsoft's problem. But with each system installed on the same computer's hard-drive, it isn't such a big deal. If you want see something on one in the other, take a screenshot of it, and email it to yourself. Open the email using the other system, and voila! There you are! Where there's a will, there's usually relatives - I mean, a way...n'est-ce pas?
