Microsoft recently announced its plans to have Windows 10 onboard its Lumia devices. The software giant informed its patrons of the news through Twitter, but it left out the detail about the actual rollout date for its latest operating system. Nevertheless, Windows 10 is now on the cards, and tech outlets foresee it to run in Lumia phones and Windows laptops before the end of 2015. 

Android Origin says that Windows 10 is still in its embryonic stage. The latest of it comes in beta version, but by the end of the production of the new software, everyone can expect as always a better performing Windows device, may it be a phone, a laptop or desktop. As of now, Windows 10 is well underway and it is undergoing major assessments. However, Microsoft has not detailed its makings, and even the release date remains unknown. 

Many cling to Windows 10 for better software experience. Windows 8, as what Gartner analyst Steve Silver remarked at the Gartner Symposium/ITxpo, is not Microsoft's best. Instead, it was a bit of a setback, when one traces back to the titanic company's history. 

"Microsoft we think has been in trouble for a little while on the client and Office side, though their revenues don't really show it. Windows 8 was not MS's shining moment, and certainly they need to recover from that," Silver said via Life Hacker. 

"Windows 8 was a bit of a problem for Microsoft, though the problems with Windows 8 were a lot different than the problems with Vista. Windows 8 wasn't unstable, it was just misconceived — Microsoft was just a little bit arrogant. It made customers feel stupid because they couldn't work it anymore." he added. 

Android Origin expressed that Windows 10 is not much of a huge upgrade from Windows 8.1, but it does have its game-changing perks. Windows 10 is promised to be a breakthrough as Microsoft is designing it as a unified operating system that is set to run on each of its devices, allowing easy synchronization and convenience.
