forget about your fancy graphics cards and elaborate water cooled computers
nothing screams excitement like a new operating system release right anybody
no well elated as you may or may not be
Windows 10 is already available for user testing and feedback and it brings some
big changes to the table so big in fact that Windows 9 was skipped entirely for
reasons unknown now for those of you not using tablets the biggest addition will
be the appearance of something very old indeed the start menu Windows 10 gives a
much appreciated nod to keyboard and mouse and trackpad users for that matter
by keeping the fullcreen modern UI as an option but otherwise making live tiles
and also optional part of what otherwise
looks like a much more traditional start menu speaking of tiles it's also much
easier to tile different Windows on your desktop with Windows 10 when the Aros
snap feature was introduced with Windows 7 it allowed users to quickly see two
things side by side Windows 10 improves
on this concept by giving you the option to tile Windows in quadrants making
keeping your screen organized a snap oh come on I've done worse than
that anyway you'll also be able to manage and switch between apps more
easily Metro or modern UI style apps
will allow you to change settings and execute commands from the title bar
instead of relying only on the charms menu and Windows 10 also introduces a
new task View view that will clearly show everything you're working on side
by side kind of like mission control on Apple OS 10 task view will even allow
you to have multiple desktops open at once so you can switch between a number
of different workspaces quickly a huge productivity booster for Notebook users
or anyone else who is limited to a single display but what else is going on
besides UI enhancements don't worry Windows 10 has got some stuff going on
under the hood as well most notably Cortana and I'm not talking about that
weird holographic chick from Halo although I guess kind of I am since
she's like named after her and stuff but but no she's different Cortana was
originally meant to be a personal assistant that was Microsoft's answer to
Siri she first debuted on Windows phone and will now be making her way to the
desktop to help you find things quickly organize your life voice control your PC
and she even promises to preemptively give you info before you even search for
it by digging around in your personal details not that she can know anything
you tell her not to know very stuff you can manually turn stuff off like don't
know about my fetishes also Microsoft is Shifting its
focus away from Internet Explorer and will'll be including an entirely
separate browser in addition to Internet Explorer with Windows 10 it's code named
Spartan and features a new design philosophy better compatibility with
modern websites a new rendering engine that they're saying is like blazing fast
and support for browser extensions finally but wait there's more Windows 10
will ship with direct x 12 which is designed to allow games to communicate
more directly with your graphics Hardware resulting in theoretically
better performance and more realistic visuals and to Delight your other senses
Windows users are finally getting native support for Flack lossless audio as well
as hvvc a new video Codec that can support 8K video the good news with all
of this stuff is that you won't need any additional Hardware to run Windows 10 if
your PC already supports Windows 7 or 8 but lonus how much is all of this going
to cost me well although Microsoft has been known to charge relatively high
prices here's my feeling with the gold and at Microsoft please give me Windows
um that looks to be a thing of the past an upgrade to Windows 10 is going to
cost you nothing if you have Windows 7 or 8.1 you can upgrade to 10 for one
year after its released for the low price of free though you'll still need
to buy a full version if you're building a new rig but if you're upgrading your
existing PC the extremely low cost interface enhancement DirectX X12 and
all that great stuff makes Windows 10 about as interesting as an operating
system release can be speaking of interesting what's more interesting than
