Microsoft’s next major Operating System is here and it is called Windows 10. Yes Microsoft skipped Windows 9 this time. Microsoft announced the official name for next Windows today between about 50 reporters instead of announcing it in front of thousands of people.<\/p>\n
According to Microsoft, Windows 10 is the most comprehensive platform ever. Windows 10 is unified Operating System. Which means it will run on multiple devices \u00a0from “Internet of things” to “servers in enterprise data centers”. Here is how Microsoft explained about Windows 10: Windows 10 is somewhat looks like Windows 7. As Microsoft knows that hundreds of millions of users are still using Windows 7 and they want them to shift on new Windows 10. As shifting from Windows 7 to totally unfamiliar Windows 8 is still difficult for some users.<\/p>\n “We want all these Windows 7 users to have the sentiment that yesterday they were driving a first-generation Prius, and now with Windows 10 it’s like a Tesla.”<\/strong><\/p>\n Windows 10 has a new task view which will make multitasking a lot easier. Task view is shown in the picture below:<\/p>\n
\n“Windows 10 will run across an incredibly broad set of devices \u2013 from the Internet of Things, to servers in enterprise datacenters worldwide. Some of these devices have 4 inch screens \u2013 some have 80 inch screens \u2013 and some don\u2019t have screens at all. Some of these devices you hold in your hand, others are ten feet away. Some of these devices you primarily use touch\/pen, others mouse\/keyboard, others controller\/gesture \u2013 and some devices can switch between input types.”<\/strong><\/p>\n
