No, it’s not called Windows 9 The name that Microsoft has chosen for its new operating system is Windows 10 , as confirmed today own company in a presentation that has also offered new details about how it will be. It confirms what we already knew and what Satya Nadella had insisted previously. Windows 10 will be the only Microsoft Windows, regardless of the device

10/03/2014 – Maria Gonzalez Xataca.com.- “… A product line A platform A store” That is the motto that Microsoft has defended this afternoon to explain a major change in the vision of the company’s operating systems and applications that operate on them, as developers can program universal apps that can be used from any device.

The importance of desktop

Interestingly, during the presentation, repeatedly Microsoft executives referred to users Windows 7 and how they wanted Windows 10 will encourage them to take the plunge and upgrade your operating system without having to go through an adjustment period. They compared it with a car: knowing conduct, you can adapt to a better car than you have without making major changes

In this regard, also clarified that provides elements that users of Windows 7 are already familiar. turn and put some elements of Windows 8 A clear example is the New Home , which is very similar to what had already leaked menu. Left programs and other elements of the system are kept in list format, while the right is a small mosaic of live tiles .

Microsoft wants Windows 10 will serve advanced users who want to try new things and they need stability

In his own words, they want to build a “fresh” but stable , operating system, suitable for users advanced who risk their beta install to computers running in the ER of a hospital.

By the turn of the Start Menu also announced the arrival of the multiple desktops with only one screen. Users of other operating systems and this functionality will be familiar. Also, another couple of details: Control + V and run on the command line (finally) and the Adjust feature will allow up to four windows open at the same time, showing suggestions for clearances

.

Not forgetting touch screens

Wanting to focus on the desktop for Windows 7 users dare to jump does not mean they have forgotten one of the biggest bets of Windows 8, as is the interface adapted to touch screens. . Indeed elements such as Windows 8 Charms remain: these shortcuts (search, share, etc.) displayed on the right side of the screen

A the left, and drag, you can see the Vista Task that also is better optimized for touch screens (see larger buttons). In it you can see at a glance which apps and files are open and compatible with the new functionality of multiple desktops.

What happens to the convertible devices

We have already seen how Windows 10 was adapted to desktops and to touch devices, but what about the convertible computers? With an approach that has been called Continuum , the idea is that if there is no keyboard or pressing the screen, very similar to Modern UI interface is active. However, if connected a keyboard version automatically Windows 10 desktop.

Windows will show one way or another depending on whether a convertible computer has the keyboard attached or

It may be to switch between these two modes and will be the operating system itself that suits depending on the variables just discussed. If, for example, you remove the keyboard of a computer when it is convertible on the desktop mode, a message asks if you want to change the touch mode will appear. The same if you are in touch mode and connect a keyboard.

A “collaborative”

System According to Microsoft, Windows 10 will be the “collaborative” operating system since you will be giving way to all who wish to participate. To that end tomorrow will launch the Windows Insider Program and users who sign up can download a technical preview that work on laptops and desktops. All other devices will have to wait

.

Apparently, and although many have not given details on how will this program will have surveys and forums available to insider , where Microsoft engineers themselves are quite active. In fact, they have acknowledged that they do not know very well how organized but “will learn” on the road.

Microsoft, go for the ground lost with Windows 8

” We’re talking about a user interface to rule them all, but we are talking about a family of products with a personalized experience for each device “

Throughout the presentation, repeatedly mentioned there users of Windows 7 and how, with this change, Microsoft expected to be encouraged to upgrade. The truth is that approximation Company Windows 10 is quite different to Windows 8 and the main changes can be summarized in the phrase that you have left just above.

For users, the experience depends on the device to use while in the background will be common, since the applications are universal. On paper it is certain that sounds interesting, but must be see how to implement it in practice . Interesting also be open to the views of users with the new Insider program. Satya Nadella is Microsoft changing things, it seems clear

Date Return Date

Of course today’s presentation has been quite light in terms of specific content , is that Microsoft has focused more on convey his idea and focus to corporate environments (after all it was a submission to companies). So we do not have many details on software-oriented consumers (think IE or mismamente multimedia content).
