SEATTLE: Microsoft 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 Windows 10, but only last week suggested the possibility of an earlier release.

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.

It is running some old software flawlessly for me, too.
That part is pretty good.
I used to run that! You realize that means we are geezers?
If you don’t mind answering, what are the minimum system requirements?
Yes, I have some old Thinkpads and 7 runs pretty well on them without requiring me to stop being cheap.
Thanks.
