After watching a whole generation of people walking through the streets apparently talking to someone who isn't there, we can expect the next one walking around touching them now.

If that turns out as good as it looks in the video (and I have serious doubts about that, but here's hoping) that could actually truly revolutionize the user interface experience. And that would be really impressive.

It makes a great stage demo. Beyond that, I'm more than a little skeptical. _They_ have been pushing VR and AR for decades now. Not enough gravol in the world.

It's the end of an era... kinda. Microsoft unveiled the Windows 10 Consumer Preview in Redmond today, and with it, a new browser, codenamed Spartan. This replaces Internet Explorer as the default Windows browser, and represents the future of Microsoft's browser development. This. Is. The. Web.

I didn't think Microsoft had a future with regards to browsers.

Microsoft today lifted the veil on its upcoming Windows 10 operating system, offering a thorough preview of what consumers can expect when the software is released later this year across desktops, smartphones, and tablets. A Start Menu? Where'd they get that silly idea?

WHAT?!? I want my damn Start Screen! Do you know how much productivity I'll lose going back to a measly, tiny menu??!? How dare they change their Operating System!

Quote: To start off, Microsoft has already leveraged early tester feedback to improve Windows 10. If you're familiar with and prefer the Windows 8.1 experience, you'll be able to take the Start Screen full screen instead of the Windows 7-style start menu we saw in September.

In the world of mainstream Web browsers, Microsoft stands alone. Apple's Safari browser is a closed source shell wrapped around an open source rendering engine, WebKit. Google's Chrome browser is a closed source fork of an open source shell wrapped around an open source rendering engine, Blink. Opera, too, puts its own shell around the Blink engine. Mozilla's Firefox is entirely open source.

I'd be willing to put money on "yes", assuming that answer includes, "as long as you reformat your hard drive" after it.
But it's got to be better than 8.1 anyway. I mean. Cortana! Now everyone can fall in love with their computers. (where's the eyeroll icon?)

I wonder how they'll handle it if, after one year you need to reinstall everything. Will you still be able to get the upgrade for free?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.
