Microsoft today confirmed rumors that the Windows 10release date will be July 29. But oddly, the free download won't be fully-featured: Some stuff, such as the new Edge browser, will be missing or incomplete, relying on future updates to round them out. It also won't support phones yet.
As a service? Peter "LaaS" Bright shines a light:
According to sources "familiar with the matter," [Microsoft] is aiming to finalize the Windows 10 code by the end of June. This point would traditionally be known as...RTM, and historically there has been a gap of several months [before] actual end-user availability. ... That timeline is greatly condensed...a reflection of the new approach...Microsoft has used.
…But in some sense it isn't feature complete. ... Microsoft [will] continue to update the operating system as part of its new "Windows as a service" approach. ... The stream of preview releases will continue even after launch...Microsoft will be offering early access to Windows 10 features on an ongoing basis.
