Default (OT) Windows 10 will be given away as a free upgrade for its first year of release

I dont know why they didn't just stick with using the release year for a
name.

Windows 95, 98, 2000, etc....
The next release would then be Windows 2015 (if it is relased this year)
and Windows 8 was released in (I think) 2013.

Being consistent avoids confusing people.......

They do for some of the products just to confuse the issue. Server 2003 is
XP generation, Server 2012 is 8, and Server 2012 R2 is 8.1. The preview
release still refer to Windows Server 10 but it might turn into 2015 on
release. Or not.
