Microsoft announces final version of Office apps for Windows 10

The computer making company joins Dell in saying that they are ready to bring Windows 10 PCs to the market upon the operating system’s release less than two weeks from now. The company used the Rolling Stones’ hit song “Start Me Up” as the theme song for the operating system and even had Jay Leno on stage during the launch event to welcome Bill Gates to the stage.

Regardless, this build matters as it is likely either the RTM build, or something very close to it. Therefore, we can use it as a measuring stick for how far along Windows 10 has managed to come to date.

India is on the verge of being one of the top 13 countries to host the big launch of the Windows 10 Operating System.

The Telegraph reports that any Windows 7 or 8.1 user can pre-register for their free Windows 10 upgrade by clicking the Windows log that will have appeared on the right-hand side of their taskbar.

As to who will build the devices Nadella said that if no OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) take it up then Microsoft will build its own Windows Phones.

The CEO went on to say the company’s decision to make Windows 10 a free upgrade underscores its commitment to Windows Phone.

Microsoft will begin rolling out Windows 10 on July 29, with the loyal army of Windows Insiders getting first dibs on the update.

In June, Microsoft announced the July 29 release date of the new Windows 10. “We will also lead the way in the management and security of Windows devices”, he said.

Microsoft is also celebrating the launch of Windows 10 by giving back. The nine global organizations include CARE, Code.org, Keep a Child Alive, Malala Fund, Pencils of Promise, Save the Children, Special Olympics, The Global Poverty Project, and The Nature Conservancy. By the way, if you have Windows 8, you will need to upgrade to 8.1 to qualify for this free upgrade. But, it sucks for those of us who won’t get the OS right when it releases.

Company is expected to work on the patches and fixes that it will release once Windows 10 is officially launched later this month.
