10 Days to Windows 10, Marketing Campaign Begins
Windows 10 is only days away and Microsoft is beginning a major marketing push. Here’s a look at what’s coming, and how to get more details on the new OS.
Microsoft is beginning a major promotion push for its new operating system Windows 10, which will be released on July 29th – just 10 days away. The company released a marketing video today that lets users know why they should upgrade.
The video touts the benefits of upgrading, showing that Windows 10 provides the best of Windows 7 and Windows 8.1… meaning the familiar Start menu of Windows 7 on the desktop and the live tiles included in Windows 8. And also promoting the fact that it’s completely free for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows 8.1 users.
According to a new post on Blogging Windows: “Today, we’re kicking off a series of blog posts sharing Windows 10 features like Cortana, Microsoft Edge, the Xbox app, Windows Hello, and more. To start the series, we’re beginning with familiarity in Windows 10.”
Note that Cortana is only available in select markets, and the Windows Hello feature requires specialized hardware.
Update: 7/19/2015
Microsoft is also celebrating its launch with global fan celebrations, a year-long initiative called Upgrade Your World. Microsoft says: “To bring the campaign to life, we see young children from around the world in their natural settings in Morocco, Thailand, Iceland, England, and the U.S. Supporting our mission of empowering every person and organization to achieve more, the ads show how technology should be more natural, human and intuitive, and adapt to people’s needs.”

Created a system image of my Win 7 laptop today (and PC) just in case, although I think Win 10 will have a roll back feature if one wants to revert to ones original operating system.
To Brian and the Groovypost team, thanks a million for fixing up the issue that I had emailed you about in regard to comments. Things are looking good! Keep up the great work. I’ll be checking in daily to get the latest news before the big day. It will be interesting to see whether M/soft servers get overloaded on the 29th July…
