Microsoft unveils the future of Windows

Microsoft has unveiled Windows 10, highlighting advancements designed for business, including an updated user experience, enhanced security and management capabilities.

“Windows 10 represents the first step of a whole new generation of Windows, unlocking new experiences to allow customers new ways to work, play and connect,” said Terry Myerson, executive vice president, Operating Systems group at Microsoft.

Windows 10 adapts to the devices customers are using – from Xbox to PCs, phones to tablets and tiny gadgets – to provide a consistent, familiar and compatible experience. Microsoft is also delivering a converged application platform for developers on all of these devices with a unified app store.

Management and deployment has been simplified to help lower costs, including in-place upgrades from Windows 7 or 8 that are focused on making device wipe-and-reload scenarios obsolete.
