A bit worrying perhaps: days before launch were still critical flaws of the system. But today it is so far: Microsoft launches its long-awaited Windows 10. You will get a better start and at best, it costs you nothing. Six questions.
1. What Microsoft wants to achieve Windows 10?
Share Microsoft wants to be big mistakes of Windows 8 undo, and that seems to succeed this time too
Windows 10 is the major software launch of Microsoft for years . It’s actually a great reworking of Windows 8, the previous operating system with its radical new design a lot of users repelled.
It is significant that the company but suddenly made the decision to skip his ninth version and go straight to Windows 10. Microsoft wants its big mistakes undo the last time, and it also seems to succeed this time.
Microsoft colorful tile structure maintaining its previous operating system, but the whole neatly filed down. It’s easier to operate the system with a desktop computer. relief over version 8, which seemed almost exclusively focused on touch control and was very confusing for those who had a mouse in hand.
2. Why should I upgrade? What’s new?
The Start menu is back with a vengeance. You can raise, it instantly gives you access to apps and commonly used functions as the control panel and it is fully customizable. It shows large and small tiles of frequently used apps in the private sector or the environment. Microsoft uses this if one of the key points to sell his new system. It is sold as “the best of Windows 7 and 8″.
Internet Explorer is in a deep hole below the ground. Windows 10 will receive the new Internet browser Microsoft Edge included. According to the company, it is a quick way to surf around on the internet and put the web at your hand. Convenient: you can write or annotate screenshots you make Web pages and share it with others.
As the same apps in Apple universal well turn on iPhone and iPad, Windows does the same with modern Windows apps . They not only work on desktop, but also on tablets and smartphones that run Windows 10.
Via Windows Hello log no longer in with a password, but with a fingerprint, eye or face. Manufacturers must adapt or their equipment for that.
There is the intelligent voice assistant Cortana , a counterpart to Apple’s personal voice assistant Siri. But while the latter after a Dutch now also comes with a Flemish version, Cortana is still (long?) Is not available in Belgium. Microsoft claims to also say “no view of the availability” in our country.
3. How much is it? Nothing (or is saying …)
Share Windows 10 is free, but not for everyone
A major novelty of the operating system that Microsoft its new version for the first time in its history give away free , but not for everyone.
In Windows 10 upgrade is free for anyone who today already have a license for Windows 7 or 8, and this offer is only valid for one year. Then you pay the full price like everyone else.
4. Why is Microsoft Windows 10 gives away for free?
Microsoft embraces the free software model where Apple and Google are already taking the first steps. The company wants its new software as soon as possible on as many devices is installed. Thus, it may prove to developers that it is worthwhile to create apps for Windows users, which can be purchased through the store from Microsoft.
The company hopes that users of their upgrade will be more inclined to use other Microsoft products, and mobile devices.
5. Microsoft is running not so much turnover wrong? How do they make money?
Microsoft will still make money by passing on license for Windows 10 on computer builders. If you buy a new computer with Windows 10, Microsoft gets there a fee for.
Traditional allows the launch of a new operating system for the sale of many new computers. It is still questionable whether that is still the case.
Furthermore, wants to earn money with Ads search engine Bing and offering premium versions Office applications, cloud applications and Skype.
6. Why tomorrow not upgrade?
Share It may be worthwhile to spend a few days or even weeks wait until you are sure that the first version shows real stable
Windows 10 does not seem quite ready. Days before the launch are still critical errors patched. That is not so surprising, but it may be worthwhile to spend a few days or even weeks to wait until you are sure the first version also stable running.
Some applications, sometimes those where you’re attached to, can not be fully ready for Windows 10 and Disable once you make the upgrade.
Windows 10 additionally comes with forced updates . Users no longer have to choose whether they want to accept the update. On crucial security issues that is a good thing, but there can be passed as updates that can also cause problems.
In short, patience is a virtue for those who still have doubts. All others can upgrade their operating system from tomorrow and would have to do so.
