In just one week, Microsoft will announce the future of the worlds most popular OS, and third most popular mobile OS.

What do you think Microsoft will show?

Well, one good thing would be to throw that "mobile OS" thing away, and just have Windows on ARM on a phone without the need for packages to be signed by MS. Basically, completely throw away the notion that phones are just another type of embedded devices.

They'll be showing the event live but has anyone seen a link to where?

 

And what "mobile OS" should they throw out exactly? Do you want them to allow sideloading of modern apps? I suppose they could but it would undermine the store to do so outside of the enterprise which can already.

Gabriel said Microsoft would share more details in the coming days.

Modern apps, desktop apps, everything. They have Windows RT, which is Windows on ARM CPUs, making Windows Phone quite irrelevant. Assuming they can optimise it for the smaller screen sizes and smaller battery capacities on phones, there is no reason to NOT give us that.

This made me chuckle, third of 3?

Don't worry guys I'm just amusing myself, I'm actually considering getting the 1020 replacement when it becomes available

But we know phone and RT are going to become one with 10 and should be the OS of choice for phones up to 8"-9" tablets on ARM. All the talk also points to no desktop, as we know it, for the ARM version so no desktop apps regardless.  In the end though if they just allow you to install a modern app from anywhere then that will hurt the windows store so for them to allow it is something I doubt we'll see.

 

One thing they might do is sell developers a specific signed cert that will then allow for their apps to be installed without the store, but it won't be free. 

 

Now that the OS is free the store is the main way to get money back from those devices.

Whether I watch depends on how soon my mother's eye doctor appointment finishes up. Of course, if it wasn't for that appointment I'd be at work, and definitely unable to watch!

 

Still, there will be full coverage here for me to peruse at my leisure, so actually watching  the presentation, while it'd be nice, isn't absolutely necessary.

Video is nice for seeing any demos they do, helps to get a better understanding.

 

Yup. and that's why I'm hoping to be able to watch. But if I can't so be it.

Any info on how long the morning keynote will be? I know it'll start at 9AM PST but haven't seen how long. I'm guessing it'll be one hour for sure but they sound like they'll talk about quite a bit so I'm hoping it's longer.

I hope that it is longer and every section, Windows, the phone, gaming, next Office, gets a dedicated talk.

The Poll needs a maybe option for watching Live.

 

I'd like to watch it live and if I'm not busy I definably will. So I'd vote Maybe.

I'm pretty sure they said it'll be on-demand after, if you missed it live you can watch it when you have time. I also expect news to keep coming out after since this is a all day event. Unless they have things under NDA, that'd suck.

We might, or it could be the next day. What might happen is we get ISOs on that day and then MS begins to push it out through WU to 9879 users the next day.

I won't be able to watch it live as I'll be at work and streams are blocked but hopefully there'll be a live blog that I can keep an eye on :)

I would recon that Microsoft pushes out the build to insiders first, and then publish ISOs for later.

Did it start yet? What time does it start Eastern Standard Time? I thought it was supposed to be 12 p.m., but it's already 12:23 p.m. and it hasn't started yet. Maybe it's running late. Will I need Silverlight to watch it? I hope someone streams it with Flash or HTML5, cause I don't have Silverlight installed. Let me know. Thanks! Nevermind: Found the answer. There was no streaming event, but the video is up for all to watch at http://www.theverge.com/2014/9/30/6875479/watch-microsofts-windows-10-event

Take a close look at the date for the article that you linked to. That was for the September event. ;) This event will be live streamed tomorrow (1/21/2015) at 12 PM EST.
