snookilow: You slept too long, wake up! "Microsoft is preparing a new OS: replacing WIndows 10" Win10 is a failure, everyone has already admitted this, and you call it the system of the future :D
I guess you speak about the mysterious multiplatform OS "Core OS". It's barely anything know about "Core OS" exept it will be multiplatform and it will have forced updates. I don't remember anytime Microsoft didn't develop a new OS, this is not an argument but rather an axiom. You talking about an os that atm is in a early stage of development and will take years till release and what the hell makes you think that Microsoft will remove spyware and forced apps on "Core OS". I mean usually it gets worse with every new Microsoft OS and not better. In a couple of years(once Core OS is released) we can talk about Core being the state-of-the-art OS. Until than win 10 will be the most common OS.
Also i don't see what "Core OS" has to do with Win 10 core being more advanced than Win 7 core, on the contrary it support my statement. At first Microsoft stated that there won't be a successor for Win 10 and now they develop a new OS. You simply can't solve every problem with an update. After a while the only useful option is to start from scratch. Does that mean you have to include this unwanted "feature" into the new OS? No, but thats typical Microsoft.
The most common OS => the standard OS. At the moment and for the next years this will be Win 10, if you like it or not. Someday there will be a new OS and people will mostlikly migrate to this OS and this OS will be the standard. Simple fact. At the moment 71% of the gaming pc(steam statistics) use Win 10, than you state "is a failure, everyone has already admitted this". Very impressive for a failure. It is a new Microsoft OS and like nearly every new Microsoft OS before it is in some ways better and in others a complete failure. What a surprise that it is exactly the same as the last decades, nobody expected anything else from Microsoft. To state that it is a failure because it exactly fits the expectations, is a very strange interpretation.
