Sure sure. I meant Windows Ten. Windows 9.5 1\/2? Whatever it is or will be, it\u2019s my understanding that it\u2019s the last.

It\u2019s still in beta, but I can see the improvements in the past few months. It\u2019s becoming more professional looking than Windows 8. The start menu is back \u2013 mostly. Cortana is here to stay. Think Apple\u2019s Siri. And Windows Apps can now be put into windows on the desktop and added to the taskbar as shortcuts. I definitely like it. And it might even be free for the first year for Windows 7 and 8 users.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft has been around a while, but they haven\u2019t lost their touch. There have been times \u2013 even periods of times when they were deeply questioned. However, I have high hopes for Windows 10. Microsoft seems to be listening. I\u2019m kinda glad they\u2019re not the biggest kid on the block \u2013 that\u2019s Apple, by the dollar.<\/p>\n<p>We hope to see the \u201cfinal\u201d release by mid-summer. But, since feature updates will be come the norm, it won\u2019t be released with all it\u2019s promises fulfilled \u2013 but some time afterward. That\u2019s ok. I can wait.
