This is the Microsoft way. Take Vista and Windows 7. With Vista they tried something new. In Windows 7 they fixed it. In 8 they tried something new... and the cycle continues.
Personally I don't mind the start menu being fullscreen. What really bugs me is how I have 2 incompatible desktops. I have my desktop which I have had since Windows 95. I then have some weird application space and jumping between the two is really unintuitive.
My bigger gripe is the name. Windows 10... It's PHP all over again.
Windows 7.
Windows 8.
Windows 9? No.. far to logical. Lets call it 10. Perhaps because it is 10 years since 95? I don't know. Still feels wrong.
PHP 6 was a real project, that a lot of people spent a lot of time working on (and writing books about). Just because the number was never used for a release doesn't mean it didn't exist.
95 -> 98 -> 2000 -> XP -> Vista -> 7 -> 8 -> 10
do you see anything logical in the entire progression.
I kind of get it what they were saying from 8 to 10 jump, that we are making a leap with this version over the previous one - because of the whole "universal" unification of devices of various form factors.
Unlike many people here, I do not know the "pulse of average people", so I really do not know how this will play out.
