As previously announced, Microsoft’s Web-streamed conference revealed a lot of new information on its upcoming operating system. The most important will enjoy all holders of previous versions of Windows.
Windows 10 for free
Confirmed earlier rumors that Microsoft will look for a new business model . Windows 10 for some users is completely free. In order to receive a free upgrade will have one of the previous versions of the system – Windows 7 or Windows 8.1. All the owners will get the option to download “tens” of the network.
Microsoft hopes to reduce the number of users who use Windows older hits. Representatives of the company even say that they care about the situation in which the the question of which version the system uses the user becomes unreasonable . “Ten” is to be a new, widely used standard. Redmond giant also wants to get in this way to change those previously discouraged new user interface introduced in Windows 8. Do you make it available for free make criticizing become more willing to grant Microsoft, right? We’ll see.
Free upgrade to Windows 10 will be possible under one condition – will have to be carried out within one year from the launch of the system.
No more Windows Phone
With the release of Microsoft’s Windows 10 operating system criticizes your mobile. The end of the “Windows Phone”, does not mean, however, that the Redmond giant withdraws from the smartphone market. Nothing could be further from the truth. All owners of mobile phones with Windows Phone 8.1, as holders of desktop version of the system, get a free upgrade to Windows 10. The phones work has the same version of “windows” which on desktop computers. End with artificial division.
Office for all!
This is not the end of Microsoft’s desire to complete integration of all users of its systems. Like Windows, which will no longer have different versions depending on the device, the same Office suite is now available to all in its full functionality, regardless of platform. This applies to versions of Office’s “new generation”, which disappear are having trouble seeing, formatting and can be edited on the mobile devices.
At the same time, of course, just as in the case of the operating system that will be functionally the same program, does not mean that i will look the same. The size of the interface and the way it works is, of course, tailored to your platform – whether it be a PC, tablet or smartphone.
The end of the Internet Explorer
During the conference confirmed other previous reports – Microsoft’s 20 years since his debut “kill” Internet Explorer. Web Browser, which for all these years was associated with all users, worst of all, and for the same manufacturer was the cause of the famous antitrust trial, will be replaced by a completely new program. His code name is Spartan, and the work is based on the rendering engine, developed on the basis used in the IE Trident.
The aim of the creators of the new browser was primarily the greatest “trim” it in relation to Internet Explorer. It has to work faster and more efficiently, will be also developed dynamically and efficiently.
According to the well already visible trend has also Spartan work on all devices running Windows, desktop and laptop. The browser will then handle the notes made with the stylus, to be also closely integrated with the voice assistant Cortana – Microsoft’s answer to Apple’s Siri.
blast from the future – holograms!
There were also room for surprises. Microsoft, in addition to talking about the well-known products and their future, also showed something in Windows 10 will be brand new. Talking about futuristic technology, called Windows Holographic. It will be built-in operating system and allows you to display three-dimensional holograms, with which the user can interact and which will, through a series of sensors, “understand” the world around them. This allows them to move in a natural way, without falling into the obstacles, etc.
These holograms to be able to see, however, will have to make use of virtual reality goggles. The whole project is so creative development of the idea of augmented reality (in which as seen through the glasses on and a camera image of the user is applied to three-dimensional objects) and not actually holography. But it sounds interesting and it will be interesting to see how Microsoft will develop this technology.
When the Prime Minister?
At the conference, she had not, however, one important piece of information – the release date of Windows 10. We know for the moment only that next week will be available to test the new version, designed for individual users. The greatest enthusiasts of new technologies will therefore no longer be able to test the new “windows”, but official debut, we must wait a little longer.
