\"Windows10-logo\"<\/a>Microsoft Giveth Back and More About Windows 10<\/h1>\n

Microsoft resurrects the real Windows Media Player<\/h3>\n

Microsoft has walked back it’s planned decapitation of Windows Media Player, and by golly, now you’ll be able to play video, music, and DVDs just like you’ve been doing all along. This the second time Microsoft has changed its mind about Windows Media Player – but you know what? Don’t bet any money on anything Windows 10 – because no one knows what what the version of Windows 10 that will be released on July 29 will or won’t have.<\/p>\n

It seems to us that Microsoft is listening more closely to its customers this time around; maybe they don’t want another publicly humiliating debacle like Windows 8. We shall see.<\/p>\n

Our bet is that you’ll be playing your music, video files and DVDs just like you’ve been doing. But you know we have not seen the final version of Windows 10 – we don’t think anyone has.<\/p>\n

\"skyisfalling1\"<\/a>Don’t believe everything you read and hear about Windows 10<\/h2>\n

Every time Microsoft gets ready to release a new version of Windows, the Henny Pennys of the world come crawling out of their shelters and begin crying, “The sky is falling”. (That’s who said “The sky is falling, isn’t it, EB?)<\/p>\n

It’s not falling. Really!<\/p>\n

We’ve been receiving a lot of emails from people concerned that this driver or that driver won’t work with Windows 10. Let us assuage your fears by giving you the facts:<\/p>\n

No one has yet tested\u00a0final version of Windows 10 \u00a0– the one that’s going to be released to the public on July 29, 2015. So no one knows, for sure, what drivers or hardware will or won’t work. Just because something might now work right in the preview release sure doesn’t mean it won’t work in the final released version, Microsoft makes this very clear and even warns users of the preview edition that some things might not work correctly, other things may be missing and other features might not be fully finished. So don’t believe anything you read about some drivers or hardware not working with Windows 10. \u00a0No one has tested the final version of Windows 10 – so no one knows.<\/p>\n

Windows 10 is Windows 8 with a prettier face and a more “Windows-like” look and feel. It is not some brand new incarnation of Windows built from scratch. It’s built on Windows 8 and Windows 7. So, that’s why your Windows 7 and Windows 8 software will work on Windows 10 and why you can count on that fact that all that stuff you’re reading \u00a0about some hardware and drivers not working on Windows 10 is mostly hot air.<\/p>\n

We will all know a whole lot more about the final version of Windows 10 when Microsoft releases Windows 10 to manufacturing. The date for Windows 10 RTM has not been announced but the best guess is it will be released in early to mid July, just prior to the release of Windows 10 to the public.<\/p>\n

Don’t you worry your pretty little head – the sky isn’t falling, honest!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
