Windows 10: the new operating system and the return of the "Start" menu

Microsoft presented the new Windows 10 operating system yesterday in San Francisco. Don't worry, you didn't wake up in the future, because this largest software manufacturer in the world skipped the 9 because it would smell too much like the "subway" 8 that didn't catch on . The tenth version therefore resorted to the proven seven and the popular Start menu.

Windows 10, which will start migrating to PCs once next year, promises a lot: refreshed user experience, improved management (the left side of the desktop strongly resembles a seven) and improved user identity, which means better protection against hacking, theft and phishing, and more advanced data loss prevention. Installation is also simplified, which makes it possible cheaper upgrade from seven and eight.

V taskbar a new task review button has populated Task View, which will allow an overview of all active applications and files in one view and prompt, "one-touch" changing and access to desktops.

Jumping between apps and programs has never been so easy.

Windows 10 is betting on multitasking, so they made order in the area of simultaneous work with several applications. Quadrant arrangement will enable synchronous openness four applications on the same screen, and the system will suggest how to intelligently fill any remaining screen space.

One operating system to rule all platforms.

How about the "graphical interface of the future" By metro? It remains, as well as the mantra, that there will be applications flawlessly worked on all devices– on desktop, tablets and phones. But if in practice so far it has not been equally friendly for users of all devices, the new version of the operating system that runs it the widest range of devices until now, however, it gives app developers a platform where this mantra should become flesh develop the application only once and use on all types of devices.
