Windows 10 launch is a 'new era', says Microsoft boss...

Windows 10 marks a "new era" for personal computing, Microsoft's chief executive has said.

The software, launched globally on Wednesday, is the company's attempt to reverse its fortunes in the mobile industry.

Windows 10 will be offered as a free upgrade to most consumers.

Microsoft is staggering the release over several weeks, so not everyone will be able to get the upgrade on the launch day. Full story...
