| Windows 10 OS |
According to sources close to Microsoft, the successor to
Windows 8 i.e. Windows 10 will be having a plethora of useful and advanced
options. It can be said that Microsoft has this time focused more on making
Windows 10 a user-friendly OS version than just an advanced one like Windows 8
or 8.1. The most striking aspect of the operating system is the inclusion of
the Start Menu, which itself has already made a large number of users to
eagerly wait for the Windows 10 release.
Microsoft clearly knows that by launching a mere advanced OS
version, the company won’t be able to retrieve its large customer base who had
either shifted to other operating systems or are happy using older versions
like Windows 7 and XP. The Windows 8 debacle was a setback for Microsoft and
its position in the tech field, as several new competitors started to pose
stiff competition to the software giant in the market.
It has been more than two years since Microsoft launched
Windows 8 into the market. Although the operating system was released with much
fanfare by emphasizing on the fact that it was the most advanced OS available at that time, Windows 8 was eventually
dubbed as a failure. The main disadvantage of Windows 8 was that it lacked
several basic features like the ones in Windows 7 and XP that had made users
root for such versions earlier. Most importantly, the non-availability of Start
Menu and the presence of two interfaces made several users confused about
running their systems. Many users even called up the Microsoft tech support
team to know how to turn off their systems. Eventually, a large number of users
dumped Windows 8, thereby affecting Microsoft’s business prospects to a great
extent.

| Windows 10 Features |
Looking at the Windows 10 preview, one can say that the
software giant has finally understood the reason why the prior version was a
unanimous failure. Yes, Windows 10 comprises of several useful features and as
mentioned earlier, the most prominent option is the Start Menu. This feature
looks somewhat similar to the one you can find in Windows 7, with inclusions
like live tiles and improved search results. Also, Windows 10 comprises of
numerous multitasking options like Snap Assist and Task View, which will
definitely entice the users to go for the upgrade.
Windows 10 release is slated for mid 2015. It will be
interesting to see what all updates the company will introduce into the OS,
before it finally hits the market.
