Today belongs to Microsoft with the unveiling of Windows 10. The revised operating system supports big- and small-screened devices alike, including those that are a part of the Internet of Things. People relied on Twitter for breaking news as Microsoft did not livestream the event. The official hashtag was WTH; a sentiment many echoed.

Microsoft wants Windows 10 to work on a plethora of devices. This includes upcoming products part of the Internet of Things phenomenon, along with smartphones, tablets, notebooks and PCs. Windows 10 unifies products under one blanket OS.
@shanselman Whats that?? Innovation of the DESKTOP environment instead of slapping a mobile environment on it?? Craaaaazy :P

I wonder if #WTH will finally change the default icons. They totally don't fit the new visual direction.

Not everyone believe's Microsoft’s operating system will lend itself to devices with big and small screens equally. Even the return of the Start menu was called into question as it now combines elements of Windows UI and Windows desktop.

Dear Microsoft, the majority of people don't want a tablet looking OS on their PC, stop trying. #Windows10

A big hit was command prompt, the command line interpreter on Windows devices, which will recognise popular shortcuts and benefit from improved text formatting in Windows 10.
being able to just type ctrl-v at the command prompt instead of right click —> paste is reason enough for me to upgrade to windows 10

Some considered Microsoft’s efforts to unify its software an admission that Windows 8 wasn’t up to par.
They're not saying it in plain talk, but Microsoft seems to have realized that Windows 8 was a disaster. #WTH

No jokes about how Microsoft should have skipped Windows 8 instead? My Twitter stream has failed me! #WTH

So the next version of Windows will be Windows 10. Because even MS want to put some extra distance between it and Windows 8.

Although Windows 10 bridges the divide between Microsoft’s UI and its desktop operating system, and that it introduces some nifty innovations to do so, it was the audacious naming convention that struck a chord. People on Twitter made the most noise on Microsoft skipping the 'Windows 9' moniker.
THE FACT THAT THEY SKIPPED OVER 9 AND CALLED IT WINDOWS 10 GIVES AN OCD PERSON LIKE ME HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

"Windows 9 is pretty uncreative guys"
*Man pitches idea*: "How about Windows 10...it's better than 9"
"...GIVE THIS MAN A PROMOTION!"

Current theory is Windows 8 killed Windows 9 - cause 7 8 9 #WindowsNext #wth

Is it weird to skip a version number in a product like Windows? Yes it is. But in the end who cares. Features is what counts. #WTH
