Windows 10 is scheduled to be released later in 2015. I am assuming a Q4 release date to be safe for my planning purposes, and so should you. If it comes out sooner, great.
Here is why it matters to you
If you are planning on purchasing a PC/laptop in the next 24 months (including this year), it matters. Windows 10 is a free upgrade if you have Windows 8.1, so you could buy a PC/laptop this year and get the free upgrade. Unfortunately, that means you have to go through the upgrade process and while I am sure they will simplify it, I wouldn't put yourself through an upgrade unless you have a strong tech support person to help you. If you can't wait until Q4, go ahead and purchase what you want today and be sure to secure the Windows 10 upgrade in the first year after it is released (it is only free the first year).
