Microsoft Corp, the American software major, expects to have
its new Windows 10 operating system on the market by autumn 2015, slightly
later than previous comments had suggested.
Chief Operating Officer Kevin Turner told Japanese news
service Nikkei on Wednesday that the new system would be released "early
next fall".
Microsoft has not publicly set a firm timetable for the
release of its Windows 10 OS, but only last week suggested the possibility of
an earlier release.
"By next late summer and early fall we'll be able to
bring out this particular OS (operating system). That's the current plan of
record," Turner told the Credit Suisse Technology Conference on November
4.
An autumn release would put Windows 10 on track for launch
three years after Windows 8, which got a mixed reception as it confused many
traditional PC users with a design more suited to tablets.
The software major unveiled the name Windows 10 in late
September, saying the jump in numbers from 8 to 10 marked a leap as it looks to
unify the way people work on tablets, phones and traditional computers.
An early test version of Windows 10, which blends the
traditional look and much-loved start menu with newer features, has been
available for download from Microsoft's website for more than two months.
