Post Windows 10 Microsoft is attempting to overturn the arguments of both home users and those who stubbornly refuse to make the transition from obsolete Windows XP or fixed Windows 7 to the latest version of its Windows 8 operating system.
Windows 10 is expected to be available in the spring of 2015, however, Microsoft engineers who presented Tech Preview avoided mentioning their release date and release date.
At the moment, Microsoft, through the head of the Windows development department, Joe Belfiore, calls on advanced users to help configure Windows 10 by downloading and installing free of charge the early and possibly unstable Tech Preview to submit comments and remarks their.
Desktop or Metro; Automatic switching depending on keyboard use
In Windows 8, there were two work surfaces, the traditional, altered, desktop and Metro, with large squares of tiles oriented to touch surfaces. This rotation is confusing, the first users said.
In Windows 10, Microsoft makes things clear and shows that the user will be in the Metro environment, with the large icons, only when using the computer of as a tablet, utilizing the touch screen.
During the demo on September 30, 2014, switching from desktop to "tablet mode" was done automatically by connecting or disconnecting the keyboard and with the user's consent (the demo was done on a Microsoft Surface Pro, a computer with a detachable keyboard that turns into tablet).
App for Metro, Desktop Applications? House or window view of all applications
Μετά την σύνδεση πληκτρολογίου, τα apps που χρησιμοποιούσε ο χρήστης όντας σε tablet mode, αλλάζουν όψη και μοιάζουν και πάλι με τα οικεία παράθυρα των Windows με δυνατότητα μετακίνησης, ελαχιστοποίησης, μεγιστοποίησης ή κλεισίματος στο αριστερό επάνω μέρος του παραθύρου τους. Η surface Metro εξαφανίζεται και περιορίζεται στα εικονίδια των επιλεγμένων από τον χρήστη apps στο πλάι του οικείου, αν και νέου, μενού Έναρξη.
Start menu without programs? All apps in the menu and search capability
The Start menu shows all the programs, a noticeable omission in Windows 8. The search feature was also added here (in the menu as well as in the taskbar, the taskbar at the bottom of the desktop). Interestingly, the search brings results not only from the user's computer but also from the Internet, referring to the use of Microsoft Bing - and here we hope that the user will be able to choose the search engine that will conduct the Internet at least searching, given the existence of alternative machines (Google Desktop, Google Search).
Alt + Tab Find the Task View button
Added to the taskbar icon to switch between running programs - something users did with the familiar Alt+Tab combination in Windows XP and other versions. It's called Task View, and it's denoted by an icon next to the search magnifying glass on the taskbar. A click on Task View displays the running applications so the user can choose which one to work with.
Snap: Multiple apps on the same screen
At the same time, Microsoft shows that Snap up to four apps on the same screen is easier to make, making suggestions for choosing combinations.
Multiple desktop: In one desktop Work project, the other Home project
Windows 10 also added the feature creationof multiple desktops, a functionality that Windows users did not take advantage of until now. It is proposed as a method of organizing tasks that the user is working on at the same time, such as when editing a Powerpoint presentation for the office, drawing data from an Excel sheet and a Word document, and at the same time trying to organize a personal taxiwith the family by opening windows in the browser and running applications for renting a car or even a house.
