Microsoft made a few huge announcements yesterday, notable among them was the introduction of Windows 10. I was impressed with the fact that, finally, Windows 10 will work across all available platforms, from the PC to your tablet and to your phone.
While Windows 8.x is still the prevalent desktop OS, Microsoft has had to rely on a separate OS altogether for mobile. Windows Phone 8.1 is the current iteration, found mostly on Nokia devices, and a small selection of HTC and other brands.
Windows 10 is a new approach, the same OS is capable of installing on the various devices, where it offers a differing UI for each form factor. From what Microsoft showed off in their announcement, the phone UI brings with it the typical functionality we have all come to expect from our mobile devices. Home screens, settings menus, a phone book, a web browser and more.
What’s New?
Windows 10 will rock a new web browser, code named Project Spartan. Cortana, Microsofts Digital Assistant is a huge element to the new OS. Universal Apps make for a consistent experience across devices. Action Center eases settings control and syncs data and notifications across devices. Expanded Xbox integration goes beyond sharing game clips, streaming full games to your Windows 10 PC or tablet.
Your photos will show together in the Photos app, they will be automatically organized into sections and albums. An all new synchronization technology available on your Windows 10 phone in the Action Center. As is true for Google+ users, you’ll be able to get to your full photo collection regardless the device you are using.
A new messaging app seamlessly jumps between your SMS and IM communications, with Skype integration bringing video to the mix.
