The next generation of Windows: Windows 10 by Terry Myerson.
From the post:
Today I had the honor of sharing new information about Windows 10, the new generation of Windows.
Our team shared more Windows 10 experiences and how Windows 10 will inspire new scenarios across the broadest range of devices, from big screens to small screens to no screens at all. You can catch the video on-demand presentation here.
Windows 10 is the first step to an era of more personal computing. This vision framed our work on Windows 10, where we are moving Windows from its heritage of enabling a single device – the PC – to a world that is more mobile, natural and grounded in trust. We believe your experiences should be mobile – not just your devices. Technology should be out of the way and your apps, services and content should move with you across devices, seamlessly and easily. In our connected and transparent world, we know that people care deeply about privacy – and so do we. That’s why everything we do puts you in control – because you are our customer, not our product. We also believe that interacting with technology should be as natural as interacting with people – using voice, pen, gestures and even gaze for the right interaction, in the right way, at the right time. These concepts led our development and you saw them come to life today.
I had to find a text equivalent to the video. I was looking for specific information I saw mentioned in an email and watching the entire presentation (2+ hours) just wasn’t in the cards.
I will be watching the comment lists on Windows 10 for the answers to two questions:
First, will I be able to run Windows 10 within a VM on Ubuntu?
Second, for “sharing” of annotations to documents, is the “sharing” protocol open so that annotations can be shared by users not using Windows 10?
Actually I did see some of the video and assuming you have the skills of a graphic artist, you are going to be producing some rocking content with Windows 10. People who struggle to doodle, not so much.
The devil will be in the details but I can say this is the first version of Windows that has ever made me consider upgrading from Windows XP. Haven’t decided and may have to run it on a separate box (share monitors with Ubuntu) but I can definitely say I am interested.
