Windows 10 is the last iteration in the line of operating
systems having come off the moderately received Windows 8, which I really liked
a lot. It brings together the best of two worlds with the functionality and familiarality
of Windows 7 while taking the touch-friendliness of Windows 8. It also brings
forward a plethora of new features with a big bag in the “continuum" – the
ability to use the operating system across different devices such as desktop,
mobile devices and tablets, with options to synchronise.
It introduces a lot of new snazzy features such as Cortana for
desktop, Windows Hello (new option for signing in to devices), Start menu (back
in with the old and new) and a new browser found in Edge.
Microsoft wanted to get this just right with pre and post-testing
phases with a total of 25 PC builds used for testing and feedback as well as 16
mobile builds for participants of the Windows Insider Program. This is the
highest number of engagement of participants used for any Microsoft operating
system.
I can’t wait to delve into Windows 10 in future blog posts
so which this space!
