Microsoft's Windows 10 brings a bunch of innovations, including a digital assistant, a new browser and support for holograms. But since everything starts and ends with money, perhaps the most encouraging news is that they will be free. With an asterisk, which means for all license holders of Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1 for one year.
Microsoft's Windows 10 the user version for preview (Consumer Preview) is much more "spimped" and much less patchy than the version of the developer preview (Developer Preview), which has been downloaded since the fall 1.8 million people (Windows is used by one and a half billion people). They sent over 800,000 feedbacks to Microsoft, which the American giant will use for even more improving user experience. This will be even more important in the upcoming operating system, since Windows 10 was the first in the family to build bridges between different devices (smartphones, tablets, desktops and the rest of the portable smart scene), including a home game console Xbox (they will allow you to stream games from Xbox One to devices with wi-fi networks, such as a tablet, computer, smartphone, with almost no delay).
It is not yet known when the operating system will be available, but it is known that it will come with it digital assistant Cortana (this was until now only available on mobile devices with the Windows Phone system via the Bing search engine, but now it will also be available on computers and tablets) and "uni-sex" applications for different devices, which will facilitate the work of developers. It is also more than obvious that the browser is saying goodbye Internet Explorer, which is going into a well-deserved retirement, as Microsoft introduced the web browser Spartan, which will be connected to Cortana, with which the user will only be able to control the device through voice and text commands (launched applications, played music, managed the calendar and reminders,...). It will remember your preferences, which will serve to provide recommendations, reminders and faster access to information. Windows 10 will also make it much easier to purchase content in online stores Xbox Music and Video.

The most revolutionary piece of Windows 10 is the environment Windows Holographic, which will be with the help of a headset HoloLens allowed interaction with holograms. With glasses that look like Oculus Rift virtual reality glasses, the user will "insert" into the real world a hologram, which will not be classically laser based, as it is based on stereographic display with differently offset images for each eye. That it is a major breakthrough in technology is evidenced by the fact that he is also testing the technology for managing his rover on Mars NASA.
