Microsoft is trying hard to "be cool" and it might have taken the first step. The company managed to impress every one with the Windows 10 demo but in reality it did not answer a bunch of questions that are important for its users.

Here are some of the questions we want Microsoft the answer:

Windows 10 release date

The technical preview of the Windows 10 is available since October last year but there is no definite release date stated for the non-buggy Windows 10 version other than "later this fall."

Price of Windows 10

Windows 10 will be free to install on any machine running Windows 8.1 or Windows 7 for the first year of its release but for those who want to upgrade from Windows XP or after the first year, price for them is still unknown.

System requirement for Windows 10

According to Windows Insider, hardware required to power Windows 10's technical preview is 1 GHz processor, 1GB RAM and 16 GB of storage space which will be fine with users running Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 but what about users who are still on the Windows XP?

Privacy settings for Cortana

According to Microsoft, Cortana will operate over the cloud and across the device platforms but while only collecting personal information "you tell it." This much of clarification will not be enough for the privacy advocates and we are certainly need more specifics.

Relation between Windows Holographic and Windows 10

Everyone was wowed by the demo of the new hologram-based version of Windows 10 called Windows Holographic but how will this relate to Windows 10 users?
