Hello! I decided to post something about Mojang's recent announcement here before anyone freaks out. I know a lot of you probably already understand what I'm about to say, but Reddit already got hit by confusion and outrage, so I'm going to explain it here before it's too late.

Here's a link to the announcement: https://mojang.com/2015/07/announcing-m ... tion-beta/

So basically Mojang is making a new version of Minecraft which can connect to Xbox users and Pocket Edition users. The PC/Java version of Minecraft is going nowhere, as in you'll still be able to play what we'll call the Java version, whether you're playing on Windows 10 or not. The release of Minecraft Windows 10 Edition Beta will NOT impact the Minecraft we all know and love. It's free for PC Minecraft players because Mojang wants us to be able to play multiplayer/interact with Pocket Edition and Xbox version players.

So in conclusion, the Java version of Minecraft (aka the PC version) will not be effected by the release of Minecraft Windows 10 Edition. Y'all can upgrade to Windows 10 and still play Java Minecraft with no worries.

Windows 10 isn't released yet xD and even so you should be able to play Java Minecraft fine on Windows 10.

Congrats on this being your 1000th post

Also, it seems almost pointless imo to use the tech preview at this point anyway, considering Windows 10 is officially released in 25 days.
(Can you even upgrade to the official Windows 10 from the tech preview for free, like in Win7 and Win8?)

There's a technical preview of Windows 10. So, yes, he is using Windows 10.
