While Microsoft is planning to launch Windows 10 on PCs this summer, the phone part of the operating system will debut at a later date. Speaking at a media event at Build in San Francisco today, Microsoft’s Joe Belfiore explained the company’s plans for the launch of Windows 10. ^aEURoeOur phone builds have not been as far as long as our PC builds,” explained Belfiore. ^aEURoeWe’re adapting the phone experiences later than we’re adding the PC experiences.^aEUR
If you were hoping to move all your Windows stuff over to Windows 10 on the same date – nope.
I hear Edge is shipping without extensions support too. Yup, they’re going to screw up this release, just like they screwed up with Windows 8. If I had to guess, I’d say Microsoft actually WANTS to fail. It’s the only explanation I can come up with.
Don’t forget the fact that they might actually call Windows 10 for phones “Windows 10 Mobile.” Of all the brands to be tarnished, Windosw Mobile is probably second only to Microsoft Bob.
It’s going to be a totally non confusing product name like Windows 10 Mobile Phone Home Premium Embedded with Bob edition…

As long as Windows 10 updates, by the time it is available on new computers – not RTM, includes the extensions capability Microsoft won’t have screwed up users first Edge experience. If it’s not ready by the time products are in stores then, yeah, MS will have blown it.
