Bott points out that Newegg also jumped the gun with preorders for Windows 8 in 2012. But the prices for the Windows 10 packages are $10 higher than Windows 8 and Windows 8 Pro when they were launched.
Windows 10 will ship with several recently announced features, including the Windows Hello authentication system, according to a Microsoft statement.
Microsoft first unveiled Windows 10 in September.
