New Leaked Build Is Evidence That Windows 10 Will Be Ready By July 29

Ammalgam writes: A new pre-released build of Microsoft's latest Operating System Windows 10 leaked to the internet today. The build (10151) shows a more refined and significantly faster user interface than previous versions of the product. Microsoft seem to be focused on last minute refinements of the UI at this point and the product looks almost ready for prime time. A picture gallery of Windows 10 build 10151 can be found here.

    The fact that you can reserve a download of Windows 10 with a release date of July 29 isn't evidence of this already?

      By following the simple process outlined in the "Get Windows 10" notification that magically appeared on millions of computers last month. If you run windows, you'll find it in your system tray. It's the white windows logo.

      Be warned: It's a highly technical process that involves "clicking".

    How the hell it became news, I don't have a clue either. Microsoft said it was going to be released on July 29th, almost 28 days ago.

    I don't know, Windows 10 looks rather 80s to me. It certainly doesn't look modern.

    You don't understand. "Modern" is the new marketing buzzword which actually means "we're recycling a bunch of old shit from 20 years ago and calling it new". For example, the Recycle Bin icon in Windows 10, after being changed 3 times over the past several months, now looks like something straight out of Windows 95.
