Microsoft adds 500k Windows Insiders in 8 days

4.6
At Microsoft's Windows 10 keynote last week, they announced that there were 1.7 million Windows 10 beta testers, or as the company calls them, Windows Insiders. A few days later, during the company's earnings call, they said that there were 2 million Windows Insiders and now, the company has announced that they have passed 2.2 million beta testers.

The information was posted up on the company's Facebook page this morning and puts some meat behind the Windows 10 hype and shows that consumers are quickly warming up to the new OS that Microsoft will release later this year.

With a plethora of new features like Cortana, Spartan, and an update to the user interface, Windows 10 is shaping up to be a blend of Windows 7 functionality sprinkled with Windows 8's modern elements. The result is an OS that bridges the gap between traditional desktop computing and modern touch environments without sacrificing the familiarity of Windows.

They skipped 9 as it wouldn't make sense. There is a article which was posted a few months ago on here.

We all trust a company that can't count to 10... (;


lol Wonder why they skipped 9.



They didnt they dubbed 8.1 as the offical 9


You can download windows 10 technical preview from any torrent site im using it currently its nice (:

AND the reason they skipped windows 9 is because most programs are written that if you are running windows 95 or windows me to say windows 9xxx and so if they made it windows 9 then everytime you ran a program that had app specific settings for windows 95, it would run as if it was on a windows 95 machine.
