Microsoft went instead with Windows 10 because they wanted to signify that the coming Windows release would be the last "major" Windows update. Going forward, Microsoft is planning to make regular, smaller updates to the Windows 10 code base, rather than pushing out new major updates years apart. Windows 10 will have a common code base across multiple screen sizes, with the UI, (user interface) tailored to work on those devices.
The new operating system, which will see the return of the Start Menu and feature multi-tasking functionality by way of multiple desktops, was announced in a press event held by Microsoft. Later today 10/01/14, the Windows 10 Technical Preview will be available to download from the Windows Insider Program website.

People don't like change!
You have to give Apple credit for maintaining a standard Graphical interface. Aqua is the GUI and primary visual theme of Apple's OS X operating system. It is based around the theme of water, as its name suggests, with droplet-like elements and liberal use of translucency and reflection effects. It made it's first appearance in July 2000. Since then Apple has announced many new OS's but all maintained the Aqua primary theme. I have always argued that these were not new OS's but rather bug fixes and enhancements.
Windows 7 was a smooth transition from previous versions and it's 64 bit architecture offered improved performance and capabilities over Windows XP and Vista. However it didn't energize business to upgrade and move from Windows XP. Maybe because of Windows XP's success Redmond thought they needed to make a radical departure from previous versions of Windows. BAM!!! Windows 8. Windows 8 is not a bad OS however, enterprise users (Windows base) were frustrated by it's radical departure from previous Windows versions. Users had to learn to navigate a new operating system before being able to accomplish their work load and tasks. Lot's of complaining, thanks a lot Microsoft!
Microsoft is expected to release a preview test build of Windows 10 sometime in the next few days. The company is expected to finalize Windows 10 by the spring of 2015, according to sources.
