Re: Windows 10 "Technical preview" released by microsoft.
Restrictions which, unsurprisingly have been more or less bypassed by the hackintosh community. There was a very brief time in the 90's when Apple allowed other companies to build Macintosh clones, but it was done during the time when Apple was having serious troubles and got heroically rescued by Steve Jobs... And Microsoft. Internet explorer was the default browser on Mac OS for a while. Of course, when Windows XP launched the biggest Apple user base became the professional market. However Mac OS hasn't really changed much over the years - maybe the way the controls look has, but the actual interface has been the same for many years and Apple is just building on top of it, making it more in line with iOS. With Windows, it almost feels like Microsoft's idea for a new Windows version is to completely redesign the user interface, except every time they do it doesn't work out very well for them, Vista is a good example. Windows Phone wasn't all that differen t, yes, maybe it had the live tiles which look awesome, but compared to Windows Mobile, the early versions were missing the most basic features like multitasking and, would you believe it, copy/paste. The result of this was all the users of Windows mobile would usually jump to either Android, if the person in question was a power user, or iOS. By the time Microsoft got to tackling Tablets, the market was neatly split between Google and Apple and few people wanted to buy Windows 8 tablets like the rediculously overpriced Surface. Microsoft was advertising it as the perfect productivity tool for businesses with full office apps. A few months later they had to release office for iPad which is still in the top app store charts, at least in Poland. To give you an idea just how much is riding on Windows 10... Microsoft is right now making more money off of FAT filesystem patentss that are used by Android then from their own phones, and Windows 8 mmarket share is bairly higher than that of Vista.
