Microsoft says that Windows 10 will be its last version of the iconic operating system that’s installed on over 90% of computers.  “Right now we’re releasing Windows 10, and because Windows 10 is the last version of Windows, we’re all still working on Windows 10,” said Jerry Nixon, Microsoft’s developer evangelist, at the Ignite tech conference.
