Microsoft has announced a further Windows 10 reveal event for January 21st 2015. The press event will be a daylong function and will take place at the Redmond, Washington campus of Microsoft. The event will serve as a press reveal of sorts and will offer the media "more details on the Windows 10 consumer experience." The event is titled "Windows 10: The Next Chapter" and it has quickly become the center of speculation surrounding possible details on the operating system for the New Year.

This past year Microsoft announced that it was developing Windows 10 and would have it ready for release in 2015. Judging obviously by the name of the OS Microsoft somewhat unceremoniously skipped over the release of a Windows 9. It makes one think of Apple's release of Final Cut Pro X after Final Cut Pro 7.

Gartner analyst Michael Silver said "Microsoft can't make a big bang and talk about a new version of Windows in September with the holidays coming and consumers deciding that 'if Windows 10 is coming, I'm just going to wait and not buy a PC.'"

Originally Microsoft held a September 30th event to announced and tease Windows 10 to the professional public and business minded media. They previewed applications for the professional marketplace as well as some of the experiences that corporate users can expect out of Windows 10.


A Microsoft spokesperson has confirmed that they keynote will be publicly webcast similar to other product launches earlier in the year. Microsoft will be on the spot during the event to showcase the strongest parts of Windows 10, and convince both consumers and investors that a new Windows can fair better than Windows 8, which boldly changed its GUI to the point of consumer contention.

Will Windows 10 be impressive enough to turn around falling PC hardware sales?
