They do have a new name, it's now officially called the Microsoft Edge Browser.

That's right...Spartan was the "code name".

... so they decided on a complete overhaul including no more Internet Explorer, instead using a new name (Spartan? I forget what they settled on).
I'm hoping they come up with a new name. The word, "Spartan" can mean:
1. Heroic warrior of strict discipline - OR
2. Showing indifference to comfort or luxury (traditionally associated with ancient Sparta).
When I heard the microsoft name of their new browser, I immediately thought of the second definition, which is not particulary complementary toward their product.
Just thinkin' out loud, folks.....

You're welcome. It's kind of about money...but it's more about something more secure. You can only patch something so many times before it becomes counter-intuitive to do so. Eventually, it's best to just start new.
IMO, Windows has been changed so frequently lately because of the rise in use of tablets/notepads. More and more users are going away from desktops (and even laptops) and just using an Ipad or Surface exclusively. That's basically what Win8 was designed for...for a touch screen device, that still had the options available for use on a non-touch laptop or desktop. Seems like Microsoft wanted to change quite a few things between 8 and 10, so they decided on a complete overhaul including no more Internet Explorer, instead using a new name (Spartan? I forget what they settled on).
Anyway...long post longer, they care about the money of selling more PC's, sure, but it's also about adjusting the product to sell to those that buy...and right now, those that buy are tablet/notepad users for the most part.

I also used to have XP & I liked it very well. but they keep changing things im beginning to think that is so people will buy a new Computer.

Windows 10 Home Edition will cost $119 - and the Professional Edition will cost $199.
If you download the free (Home Edition), you can upgrade to the Pro version for $99.
Thanks...about what I figured they'd charge. Seems to be about the same for a while now.

So, this free upgrade is only good for 1 year?
The free upgrade is good for the lifetime of the device it's installed on.

Good for life, but you have a year to install it I think.

You can always purchase Win10 after the one year free option expires. I have no idea what that price will be (probably $100-200 depending on version). Upgrading is not at all required.

That*s great news! I kan wait a bit for bugs to be worked out. If the upgrade downloads to ^^y puter, nothing will happen until I install it, right?
Signing up for the upgrade will only download it to your computer when the update is available. it will not automatically install it. There has to be user interaction to actually install it.

I have that little ICON in my taskbar this morning when I logged on. You don't have to update for awhile as I heard on news once. now do you. I no nothing about changing browers as I have always used IE. I have Windows 7 in my puter. Does anyone no how long we can keep our current version? Im sorry, but im hard headed about trying to understand anything new. I hate changes , even my age .
You can keep your current version indefinitely if you want. On my main computer, I still use XP. It's no longer supported with updates/upgrades, but it still works.

For Win 7 and 8 users it will be a free upgrade for a year. So you have until July 29, 2016 to upgrade for free.
