**Windows 10** is the new operating system just presented by Microsoft during a specific event.
Microsoft has unveiled the fruit of its latest work in operating systems: at an event currently underway in San Francisco, Windows 10 has indeed been presented.
The first main feature that cannot go unmentioned concerns the great versatility that Microsoft has wanted to give this OS: Windows 10 is indeed a global operating system open to all platforms.
Microsoft has therefore focused on a single product to cover the PC and mobile device segment, thus “accommodating” devices that can range from 4 to 80 inches in screen size.
It was therefore decided to streamline the study and design of operating systems, reducing them from three to just one.
As just mentioned, Windows 10 will cover the needs of PCs and devices such as smartphones and tablets; but it will also be used in a third sector, that of gaming: it will also run the Xbox game console.
All this – according to Microsoft’s projections and intentions – translates into an advantage regarding the work that developers will be able to carry out from now on. In one go, in fact, they will be able to create apps that will be immediately usable on any type of platform, without having to make any specific modifications.
It was Terry Myerson, Executive Vice President of Microsoft, who introduced the new Windows 10 to the audience gathered in San Francisco, also joking about the name of the new operating system. In fact, its announcement caused surprise, as – in continuity with the past – a “Windows 9” was expected, being the successor to the current operating system, so to speak.
Instead – for whatever reason – it was decided to skip the number “9” entirely, aiming straight for 10.
At the time of writing, there is still little official information released regarding the features of Windows 10.
What caught the eye was the return and change in design and functionalities accessible via the “Start” command: by clicking on it – in fact – it was possible to notice that the classic “tile” design of the icons has been carried over not only to the desktop and within the main folders but also, precisely, to the start menu, with the subsequent possibility of customizing the display order, arrangement, and general size.
A definite release date for Windows 10 has not yet been officially announced: Myerson has in fact only stated that the new operating system will be released during 2015, but the precise timing is unknown.
