I had read somewhere (Mashable, maybe?) that the reason for the 10 was to distance itself from Windows 8. Purely a marketing ploy.

It's also going to be free-ish (a free upgrade from Windows 7 or 8, from what I've read.)

Interesting that they're skipping over version 9 and going straight to version 10, to try to get version parity with OS X.

I think by Microsoft embracing Raspberry Pi and ARM and doing some free-ish offerings, I think their product will likely improve and the race for better OS' for all might be better off.
