We know there are still big corporate XP users out there, such as the operator of the infamous Fukushima nuclear power plant, and there are anecdotes-a-plenty to be had about pirated XP in developing nations.

Windows 10: 'Free' can potentially cost a lot. It's been about a year since I’ve felt prompted to write anything; but the recent Microsoft announcements about Windows 10 has brought on the urge.

Windows 10: 'Free' can potentially cost a lot

I'm not really interested about the pricing or upgrade options for consumers as they have all been commented to distraction. My interest is the concept of the Operating System as a service. Whenever anyone changes the goalposts on a supplier-customer relationship, it piques my business interest as there is no such thing as a free lunch -- particularly not from the likes of Microsoft or Apple. Streaming Xbox One games to a Windows 10 PC is awesome.

Microsoft’s big promise of the Windows 10 development has been a focus on delivering regular builds to testers to gather feedback, but the company has struggled to get its latest release out of the door. Despite that, the new release comes less than a week after it was compiled within Microsoft, an impressive speed that's similar to how Xbox updates are delivered. Disappointingly, this new preview won't include Project Spartan, Microsoft’s Internet Explorer successor. While the software maker had promised the next preview would include a test version of Spartan, that’s not arriving just yet, and it appears the company misspoke.

Con quale frequenza? Microsoft non sa dirlo. Gabe Aul, general manager del gruppo Osg Data and Fundamentals, su Twitter e attraverso un blogpost ha cercato di spiegare il perché e il per come sia tanto difficile stabilire una cadenza regolare oppure anticipare con sicurezza la data dei rilasci. In risposta, a quanto pare, a numerosi solleciti e domande giunte dagli sviluppatori e dagli utenti Microsoft più entusiasti, ansiosi di poter testare nuove build del sistema operativo.

Analyst Thinks Microsoft Will Lose Market Share, Despite Windows 10. Microsoft is hard at work on Windows 10, with the new operating system set for launch later this year. But some market watchers still believe that the Windows platform will lose share. Despite the launch of the new OS. At least one analyst thinks that this is a very real possibility. Bob O’Donnell, a prominent technology analyst, is of the view that the Windows ecosystem will shrink from its current share of 90.4% of the desktop market last year to around 88.7% in 2015. The reason? Growth registered by both Google and Apple with their Chrome OS and Mac OS X platforms. Apple is forecasted to grab around 6.9% of the PC market this year, a small increase from the 6.2% it had claim to in 2014. If it holds true, then Microsoft will have a little worry on its hands. Difficult, but a very possible scenario, nevertheless. The dip may not be down to Windows 10, however, but just a signal that interest in desktop platforms is waning.
