Welcome back to another edition of the weekly Windows 10 news recap. On Monday, April 20th, we learned thatWindows 10 will launch in July. According to AMD’s CEO, Microsoft is looking to launch the Windows 10 operating system by the end of July. The news slipped during the recent conference calls of the company, and mentioned that the company aims to get it out to the market before the back-to-school promotions begin.
We held a pollon WinBeta.org asking readers if they felt July was too soon for the operating system’s release, and the results are in. Out of 1,852 votes, 47.19% felt that Microsoft should wait a few more months, while 41.47% believed Windows 10 would be ready for release in July. Interestingly enough, 11.34% of voters didn’t really care.
In the Windows Store (Beta) in the Windows 10 Technical Preview, Xbox users candownload the Avatars appand get started on tweaking and fine tuning their avatars appearance. Microsoft made this app available at the start of this past week.
