survey
www.cloudrooms.net
A mini survey conducted
among our Windows 10
webinar attendees revealed
that most of them use
Windows 7
Second in use is Windows 8

6. * Windows 9 has been added to the survey as a teaser
as there will never be a Windows 9. The upgrade is from
Windows 8.1 to 10.
Although no official explanation has been given for the
absence of Windows 9, it is thought to demonstrate how
radical this upgrade is intended to be in departure from
Windows 8 and 8.1 OS.

10. Windows 10

11. Work in progress…
While preparing this
presentation for you, I took
a screen shot of this slide.
What is visible on this image
has now been replaced with
an expandable Windows
Start Menu to Windows Start
Screen. It goes to show
how dynamic the build
process of Windows 10 is.
Windows 10 is a work in progress.

The full screen option
converts the Start Menu
to Start Screen

14. Converged Windows platform
the Internet of Things
One platform across all devices

15. The converged Windows platform is designed to
deliver the same experience across all devices.
Applications will also be available across all
devices, so for example, by installing an app on
your mobile phone would give you access to the
same app on your tablet or laptop.
One platform across all devices…

16. The Internet of Things
• Environmental monitoring
• Infrastructure management
• Industrial applications
• Energy management
• Medical and healthcare systems
• Building and home automation
• Transport systems
• Large scale deployment
www.cloudrooms.net
The Internet of Things are
basically appliances and
devices that connect to
the internet.
Windows 10 aims to be
able to connect in some
way to all of these
internet based devices.

17. Continuum
www.cloudrooms.net
Enter tablet mode?
With Continuum, in laptop
mode, the OS is designed to
be optimised for example
with a keyboard/mouse, as a
conventional laptop.
If the keyboard is detached,
the OS will optimise itself to
be used as a tablet.
You can see we now have
the addition of the arrow in
the toolbar to assist in hand
gesture.

18. Business
• Opt in available for all updates
• Lock down mission critical environments to receive
only security & critical updates
• In-between option to keep certain updates
• Mixed approach
Consumer

19. General public app store
and Business app store
Apps
www.cloudrooms.net

20. Apps
employee store experience
Although a general app store will be available,
organisations will also be able to create a customized
store. This will allow for curation of store experiences that
can include their choice of store apps alongside company-
owned apps into a separate employee store experience.
www.cloudrooms.net

21. Cortana
It has been confirmed Cortana will be
integrated into Windows 10

22. Cortana
Current release
Next release???
Cortana is designed to be a personal assistant.
You can arrange a meeting simply by talking into your
device or instruct it to open a particular application.
With the version on the phone you could ask where is
the nearest grocery store and it will open up the maps
application and give you directions to one.

23. Cortana
Windows 10
WP8.1

24. Notification center and settings

25. Notification center and settings
The new notification center will let you
know if you receive a new Skype
message, email or if an application has
been successfully downloaded. A full
list of what appears in the notifications
has not yet been issued.

26. Multiple desktops

27. Increased audio support
MKV, FLAC, HEVC
www.cloudrooms.net
MKV formats are now supported out of the
box. These are a popular file format for
video files.
Also, Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC) will
also be available. The advantage of FLAC is
they don’t lose any data in compression.
Although the file sizes are larger, the quality
is much better.
HEVC – High End Video Encoding

28. Snap and fill
1. Quadrant snap
2. Fill half a screen
3. Drag a 3rd app to
a screen corner
for windows to
rearrange the
windows
www.cloudrooms.net

29. Snap and fill
Quadrant snap simplifies the process of snapping more
than one app to a screen. Once you drag an app to a
corner, it snaps to fill half the screen, and a new snap
assistant displays the remaining apps so that you can
snap another, if you want. Drag a third app into a screen
corner and Windows 10 rearranges the windows to
create a vertical division between that app and another
(with the option to pick and snap a fourth app).
Quadrant view with four apps really requires a large
screen to work well.

30. Who is Spartan?

31. “Spartan”
Spartan is the
code name for
the new Microsoft
Web browser
which will replace
Internet Explorer
www.cloudrooms.net
New features include a completely
re-written version of the internet
browser. You will be able to edit web
pages, write notes about them, add
them to a ‘portfolio’. Cortana will be
integrated for voice searches…

32. Release date
No fixed date for official release yet
Late 2015 expected
