Forget Windows 9 or any of those filler Windows releases. Microsoft announced Tuesday that Windows 10 would be the next and final major Windows release from the company.

Instead of coming out with yearly or every-other-year updates like we saw in Windows Millenium Edition, Windows Vista and other minor updates, Windows 10 will be a full-featured major updated operating system that will receive regular updates and patches.

Windows 8 was Microsoft's last introduction and it came with opposition. The start menu disappeared and Windows went to a tile-based system which many groaned about. Windows 8.1 fixed some of those errors, but not all.

Windows 10 wants to take Windows into the future. Many users downgraded from Windows 8 back to Windows 7 because they did not like the changes in it.

"We want all these Windows 7 users to have the sentiment that yesterday they were driving a first-generation Prius, and now with Windows 10 it's like we got them a Tesla," Microsoft executive Joe Belfiore said.

Depending on the size of the device that is using Windows 10, the user may see a whole new look for Windows.

"Windows 10 will run on the broadest amount of devices," he said. "A tailored experience for each device. There will be one way to write a universal application, one store, one way for apps to be discovered purchased and updated across all of these devices," Microsoft executive Terry Myerson said to CNET at the announcement event.

Right now, it is unclear when the operating system will be launched. The project before being named Windows 10 was called Windows Threshold. Starting next week though, developers and those who are comfortable with beta versions of software will be able to test the upcoming Windows 10.

You can register to become an "insider" and test out the beta version of Windows 10. However, it is not recommended for inexperienced users since it is an unfinished product.

The price is also unknown on Windows 10. Those who recently bought a computer pre-installed with Windows 8 could get some kind of price break though.

UPDATE: Windows 10 will be released in late 2015 but the beta version will available as early as Oct. 1.
