WINDOWS 10 TECH PREVIEW EXPERIENCE AND DEVELOPMENTS

Expanded Start menu

Since the time Windows 10 Tech Preview was released back in October 2014, there has been several versions to the newest operational system from Microsoft the is nearing its final release to customers.
The overall experience has been great, we have seen the return of the start menu with a combination of Windows 7 and 8.1 UI. We saw the birth of virtual Desktops which are still in development stage since are still buggy and laggy.  Also we've seen the addition of the search bar with the Smart voice assistant

Cortana that works like Siri or Google Now, since Windows is going to be an OS across all devices Cortana will make a great addition to the mobile market.

Search Bar and Cortana

Another nice feature is the notification panel.

The latest build 10049 introduced Project Spartan. The newest addition is the Project Spartan that seems to be the replacement of Internet Explorer. The UI of Spartan is very much like the most popular browsers like Firefox, Chrome. Spartan still a work in progress since it has not reach total functionality.




Build 10056 has leaked over the net where several websites have point out some of the developments expected like a smoothest experience with virtual desktops.
Windows 10 Tech Preview can no longer be treated as a beta since it has earn a well deserved status for its stability and compatibility.
 Direct descendant of Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 with the additions needed to crossover platforms which it has been the most important goal of Microsoft ever since Windows 8 and 8.1 where it completely failed.

WINDOWS 9 NOT IT WILL BE WINDOWS 10

Now it has been confirmed by Microsoft to the press that the new official name to the next version of the its operating system will be WINDOWS 10. It will have the features that already had been leaked like the new combined  Start Up Menu.

More importantly it has been confirmed that its going to be one platform across all its devices: Xbox, Desktop PC , laptops, tablets, smartphones.

Microsoft has introduced the product and will released a preview by tomorrow.

As we talked before Windows will have multiple virtual desktops and Cortana the virtual asistant, which is a voice activated search interaction similar to Siri and Google Now.

Windows 10 should be releasing next year for now MICROSOFT will released a technical preview which is only recommend to be for second PC or as a test OS not as the main OS.

WINDOWS 8.1 IS SET TO GO PUBLIC IN OCTOBER

The latest update to Windows 8 is set to go public this October. Are we getting any surprises from Microsoft or they will give us the tiny changes that don't make any sense. We hear that project Mozilla might giving a push to this metro environment by introducing Firefox app. Microsoft has to offer a better product to back the tablet industry otherwise will be eaten alive  by iPad. Microsoft really has to define its market. They are trying to invade Apple's market and leaving their own. In an era of mobile predominance all major participants are trying to grab the biggest piece of the pie.
We hope .Microsoft takes the needed turn in the right in direction to avoid its decadency.
If Microsoft continues its pattern the OS that follows Windows 8 should be the winner. Like in the past.:
Windows 3.0 failure.
Windows 3.5 hit.
Windows 95 better known blue screen of death.
Windows XP  most stable until then.
Windows Millennium failure.
Windows 2000 stable.
Windows Vista nice but heavy on graphics.
Windows 7  most stable ever.
And finally Windows 8 metro interface still waiting to see the real progress.
