  Windows 10: A new beginning
Time: 20:52 EST/01:52 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Erick Cordero

Tomorrow, Microsoft releases Windows 10 to the general public as a free upgrade. It's impossible not to draw parallels between today's launch and the hugely hyped release of Windows 95, which happened 20 summers ago.

At that Windows 95 launch party, with entertainment by Jay Leno and the accompaniment of the Rolling Stones, it felt like the end of a long journey. Windows 95 was shrink-wrapped, for heaven's sake, so it could sit on store shelves and bins at Costco. And you knew that it wasn't going to change much for another three years, which is how long it took for Windows 98 to arrive.
