Joumana 463 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Microsoft announced details of the new operating system at an event in San Francisco Microsoft has disclosed the first details of Windows 10 - its next operating system (OS). The name is a surprise, bearing in mind it represents a jump from the last version - Windows 8. The software will run on a wide range of devices, from phones and tablets to PCs and Xbox games consoles, with applications sold from a single store. It also marks the return of the Start Menu, which had been removed from Windows 8. In addition to offering a list of the user's favourite applications, the menu also brings up resizable tiles - similar to those featured in Windows 8's touch-centric interface on PCs and tablets. These provide a quick view of notifications from relevant applications, such as details of new emails, Facebook messages and weather forecast updates. Microsoft said Windows 10 would work on devices with 4in (10.2cm) screens and 80in screens Across desktop PCs as a whole, only 13.4% currently run Windows 8 or Windows 8.1, according to research firm NetMarketshare. By contrast, it says 51.2% are powered by Windows 7 and 23.9% by Windows XP, a version that is no longer supported by Microsoft. Mr Johnson said the reintroduction of the Start Menu should help Windows 10 fare better. "It is critically important," he said. "The Start Menu is perhaps the most important thing that will make the desktop experience familiar to business users, and will help it reduce resistance to its installation." Microsoft will offer a "technical preview" of Windows 10 to early adopters later this week, which will run on laptops and desktops. The company said it would provide details about the introduction of "universal apps" - individual programs that tailor their functionality to different types of devices - at its Build conference in April, and would aim to release the completed OS before the end of 2015. There was no mention of offering the firm's voice-controlled digital assistant Cortana to PCs, or when Windows 10 would supersede the Windows Phone OS. The firm's smartphone code is designed for ARM-based processors, unlike the main Windows 8 and Xbox operating systems that are built for x86 chips - including those made by Intel and AMD. While Microsoft confirmed that versions of Windows 10 would be released for both types of chip architecture, it did not disclose whether there would be a staggered release. http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-29431412 guess whos up in this bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
