Start is back! And other features.
Microsoft is adding a host of new features to their new OS. Here is a brief description of the most anticipated new gadgets. First of all Start is back! The traditional start button has returned with all of your favorite features. Instead of opening a new app screen, programs will be listed under the old start menu. The new Snap Assist will help with split screen operations and a new mode called Continuum will allow users on 2 in 1 devices to easily switch between laptop mode and tablet mode. For anyone interested in programming or direct commands for their computer updates have been made to command prompt as well. Command Prompt has extra features which will make programming easier and more efficient. To allow for compatibility across devices Windows 10 will have Universal Apps and notifications to make every windows device and program connected. There will even be a Windows 10 phone in the coming months! And finally, perhaps my favorite feature is the new voice prompt system. Cortana is coming to Windows 10! That”s right, for all of the fans of Halo video games and Apple”s Siri you are in luck. Cortana will provide voice command software to Microsoft products. Microsoft is designing Windows 10 to move away from Windows 8. All of these features will change the look and feel of Windows back to the classics while increasing the technology to match modern times. Microsoft’s Joe Belfiore said at an event showing the new software: “We want Windows 7 users to feel like they upgraded from a [Toyota] Prius to a Tesla, but they don’t need to learn a new way to drive.” The new OS is going to be exciting and full of fun new ways to use a laptop.
