Windows 10 launch site launches

We're just 24 hours away from the launch of Windows 10 (actually, we don’t yet know what time the operating system will be unleashed tomorrow). If the stream of videos coming out the Microsoft camp hasn't whetted your appetite, maybe the new Windows 10 portal will do the job.

Microsoft has launched a new site encouraging people to #UpgradeYourWorld and providing everything a would-be upgrader might want to know about Windows 10. For Microsoft, this is much more than just another software launch; the company is pinning a great deal on the success of Windows 10, and the marketing machine is now going into overdrive.

The Windows 10 launch site is socially-powered as well as housing information from Microsoft. A live map displays tweets from around the world as Twitter users talk about Windows 10 -- just use the hashtag #UpgradeYourWorld or mention Windows 10 to get involved if you want. If you've managed to miss all of the hype so far, the site serves as a place to catch up with everything -- including Microsoft's "10 reasons to upgrade to Windows 10" (see ours here).

If you want to familiarize yourself with the OS ahead of its arrival on your computer, there is a quick-start guide -- which is the same as the one that leaked yesterday. For the completist, there are also all of the videos and screenshots you could possibly want. Hit the Windows 10 launch site to see what Microsoft has in store for you.
