Windows 10 Operating System

News, reports, debates and rumors about Windows 10 OS have been trending for some months now. One would definitely wonder about Microsoft’s decision to skip Windows 9 and move to Windows 10. Sources close to Microsoft reveal that the name Windows 10 was picked to emphasize that the OS was not a continuation of the previously released Windows 8 or Windows 8.1. Microsoft’s Terry Myerson was reported to have said that “We’re not building an incremental product.” He added that “When you see the product in its fullness, I think you’ll agree it’s an appropriate name for the breadth of the product family that’s coming,”

Meanwhile, some rumors indicate that the developers team of Microsoft had planned to christen the new operating system as Windows One, similar to OneNote and OneDrive. But it was dropped later.

Windows 10 operating system will be a brand new operating system. The tech preview of the operating system, which got released a few months ago, has gathered only good reviews so far. Unfortunately, Windows 10 tech preview is not released to every user. As of now, only users who are part of Microsoft’s Windows Insider Program are given permission to download Win 10 tech preview. And it is said that Microsoft has put forth several complicated conditions to avoid a surge of new users signing up with Windows Insider Program.

Windows 10 Features 

You must be quite intrigued to know about the new features that have been added or are going to be added to Windows 10. According to some reports, the Windows 10 tech preview contains only some of the features. A good number of features are still to be introduced. Some say that Microsoft would introduce about two third of all the features in the upcoming Windows 10 Consumer Preview which will soon be released.

Among the many Windows 10 features, what seems to be most exciting is the adoption of some of the traditional features; for instance, the return of the Start menu which was dropped in the previous Windows 8 OS. According to Microsoft, the new Windows 10 OS will be an operating system that can modify itself to any platform on which it is installed. For instance, it will acclimatize to the desktop ecosystem when it is installed on a non-touch screen desktop device. Similarly it will offer maximum touch screen-friendly experience when it is installed on a touch screen-based smartphone or tablet.
