Microsoft fails Windows Phone fans again by delaying Windows 10 Mobile


Fans and Windows Phone fanboys have a tough job. They must be owned by an operating system with a new name every few years, much fewer applications than the competition, and a distant third place in the market. The latest news on Microsoft does not make life easier.

This week, Microsoft has failed to fulfill its promise of implementing Windows 10 mobile devices to existing Windows Phone devices in December. The new target? 2016.

"The upgrade of Windows 10 Mobile will begin filming early next year to select Windows 8 and 8.1 existing phones," a Microsoft spokesperson told VentureBeat. This means that not a Windows phone will be upgraded to Windows Mobile 2015 10.


In October, the promise was different. "Wide availability of Windows 10 on other devices, including mobile phones, will begin filming in December."

Delay after delay.

Of course, the release of software before it is ready is never a good idea. But that question was said that Microsoft Windows 10 mobile would be ready in December.

To be fair, Microsoft has managed to release the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL, windows first 10 mobile devices, this November. But the phones do not generate much enthusiasm. In addition, a limited company supported by available, almost as if she did not want the new phones to achieve maximum sales potential.

If you are a fan of Windows Phone looking for the latest and Microsoft, it is best to become an initiate Windows and help the company to test new buildings (the last cumulative update was released on December 17). Want to buy a new device? Your only choices are the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL (if you can find them). Looking obtain Windows 10 Mobile in existing equipment and enjoy free update of Windows Phone 8.1? You have to wait.

Many courses have to wait a while before you can get Windows 10 Mobile on your phone. After all, all Windows Phone devices will be supported in the first day (Microsoft has not released a list), and certainly not all at once. Carriers must, of course, slow down the update process. In addition, Microsoft said Windows 10 was drawing to a PC before the phone, and the gap release made much sense.

Windows is naturally much higher base users in the PC to the phone, so Microsoft is focused on getting the first update users, especially given its objective to hit one billion devices running Windows 10 "in two or three years. " Test builds of Windows Mobile 10 were still behind their PC counterparts in terms of features and stability, largely because Windows 8 was released before Windows Phone 8, so just had a late start. Besides all this, add that Windows Mobile 10 must pass a test carrier, something that Microsoft has little control over nature in various parts of the world.

But the party had Microsoft has control over, he has not made it out the door. The company had issued updates for Windows Mobile 10 for a handful of existing Windows Phone devices, you could argue that there was no delay. Just a rolling release. Hell, even improvements for both phones have been a start.

Remember, Windows 10 for PC was released in July. December and meant a space of five months.

What's worse is that Microsoft is committed to a month. "Early next year," roughly translated in Q1 2016, which could be January, February or March. Therefore, six to eight months after Windows 10 for PC deployed. And again, it will be only a handful of devices. Let me take this another way: many windows phone owners will be waiting for Windows Mobile 10 through most of 2016.

And the next two months will not be easy for Windows Phone 8, Windows 10 mobile ahem, fans. All new hardware coming out CES and the World Mobile Phone Congress are ignored. Assuming they are not buying a Lumia 950 or Lumia 950 XL, which received lukewarm reviews at best they will have to say it is not worth looking at what other platforms are showing because your mobile upgrade Windows 10 is coming.

Finally. Soon. Maybe next month on my device?

What you need to know about the new update of Windows 10

The latest update to Windows 10, the threshold codenamed 2 adds a variety of solutions and improvements. But
Read now

.iso Files are still available, but when downloaded using multimedia authoring tools for Microsoft, now install the original edition of Windows 10 on July 29, not the upgrade in November as before.

"These downloads can not be used to upgrade from Windows 10 PC update in November (1511 Version)," Microsoft confirmed in the revised download page dedicated to Windows 10 when viewed from a Windows PC.

Windows 10 users impatient with the slow process used to update Microsoft devices through Windows Update were on the disk images and media creation tool to avoid waiting on stage. Microsoft had in fact pointed out to users as a way to jump the queue.

Gabriel Aul, director general engineering for the Microsoft operating system group, suggested the creation tools media and disk images in a tweet on November 12, the day the company released the update.

Microsoft has dubbed the update - the first for Windows 10-1511 to mark the month and year in AAMM size applies whenever the software is updated regularly as a delivery model style.

Change reports appeared yesterday in the newsgroup support Microsoft. "I can not find the Windows Update download November 10 ISO on the website of Microsoft," said Berk Babadogan on a wire. "Only ISO RTM (Build 10240) available. A week ago, I [could] Updated November ISO download from here. But suddenly disappeared this week, so you can not download now."

Others, including Greg Carmack, an MVP (Microsoft Most Valuable Professional), confirmed that Microsoft had retired in 1511, when the use of the tool for creating media. "I asked through MVP Channel Communications and just found out that the fall update v.1511 apparently was taken and replaced with the original release," Carmack said, referring to the July 29 edition.

Computerworld confirmed Sunday that downloads the media creation tool aimed at the release of 29 July labeled build 10240. A download tool November 13, a day after the release of the update in November, took place the 10,586 buildup reference, the label assigned in 1511.

Microsoft did not immediately respond to questions on Sunday, but other outlets, Microsoft said on Saturday that the company had "decided that future facilities must be through Windows Update." WinBeta was one of the first to report the disappearance of 1511 the process of authoring tool media. Microsoft has not offered additional reasons to shoot in 1511 and return to the original July.

The company also said it was still serving WinBeta 1511 Windows 10 users through Windows Update, unlike some clients who said they had been offered. "Microsoft has not taken the Windows Update November 10 The company is releasing the update in November over time. - If you do not see Windows Update, you will soon see," a Microsoft spokesman said WinBeta.

Snatch update in November, Microsoft has limited the way users - if those running Windows 10 or Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 previous editions eligible for a free upgrade - Get the latest version of Windows 10.

Those upgrading from Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 now have to go through two updates: First Build 10240-29 of July and then again to 1511 or 10586. Each building is at least 3GB download.

Customers who are already running Windows 10 Build 10240 must hang tight and wait for Microsoft to deliver improvements in November in Windows Update, and then download that for each device. This means that Windows 10 users will no longer be able to create bootable, installable media communication - typically a USB flash drive but alternatively, a DVD - 1511 update multiple machines without having to download massive file for each system wide Defending consumption and will take time.

Previously, Microsoft had made it clear that he would use Windows Update to upgrade to Windows 10 upgrades from two to three times a year as well as the monthly security updates. But he also promised to provide disc images in .iso format file for each update that gives advanced users another way to keep their devices updated.

Microsoft Fails to Deliver Tool For Bringing Android Apps to Windows


Microsoft has confirmed this weekend that delayed if not completely dead, a tool designed to make it easy for Android applications running on Windows 10 phones and tablets.

Astoria dubbed Project, the effort was announced in April as part of an ambitious but risky for developers who write for Android, iOS and Web to get their programs for Windows. Developers began to ask questions, though, as the tool has never been made public and Microsoft had stopped talking.

Microsoft has confirmed Re / code this weekend was not through with Astoria as expected, but a representative declined to say whether Astoria was delayed, pending or during disposal altogether.

"The Astoria bridge is not yet ready, but other tools offer great opportunities for developers," Microsoft said in a statement, adding that the tools of the web and iOS developers are ready with another option for the future to allow Windows programs to run on older phones and tablets. Microsoft said. "We are committed to offer developers many options to bring their applications to the Windows platform."

Android tool was considered the riskiest of the four bridges, as it essentially amounted to bear on applications written for Android without really taking advantage of Windows itself. BlackBerry uses a similar strategy, allowing Android apps to run on BlackBerry 10 devices via the Amazon App Store. Ultimately, this proved largely unsatisfactory and the company chose to build the Priv, some Android-based smartphone.

Microsoft options for iOS and Web developers require more work by the creators of APP, but also end up with something that was more of a true Windows application compared with only hand-me-down Android.

With the disappearance or delay of Astoria, the risks are even greater for Microsoft to convince mobile application developers to put some effort into making a Windows version of its applications. While Microsoft has struggled to attract developers of mobile applications, due to the low market share of Windows Phone, it's a little story more compelling with Windows 10, where developers can write a universal application that can work Windows phones, tablets, computers and even Xbox games console.

The company also set a bold target to have Windows 10 on a billion devices within three years of freedom and is based on absolute figures to finally win skeptics developers. In the past, the company tried to attract developers through financial and other incentives, but in some cases, developers upgrade stopped or abandoned their efforts to Windows Phone.

"Now we're just very focused," said Chief Terry Myerson Windows in an interview last month. "We will leave Developer natural commitment by users and innovation."

Microsoft Takes Six Billion Dollars From Android

X range of Nokia phones, driven by its own fork of Android Nokia, Nokia bound in the identification system and the emerging cloud services Microsoft.
Specifications terminals placed on the market of budget and mid-range, so we never got to see full Nokia Android platform strangled, but I like to think that Finnish engineers were happy to have the opportunity to show what they could have had Nokia made a different decision in February 2011 instead of announcing their adoption of Windows Phone.

Free Samsung payment to Microsoft in 2013 was over one billion ($ 1,041,642,161 and fifty cents), approximately $ 3.41 per unit.

Leaked Continuum Video Shows Microsoft Has Found Its Mojo Again



Something happened in Redmond. Anyway, it was enough to mix some returning echoes here with someone who has ceased to Windows as a platform more than a decade to OSX. Sure, I could stand here and quote statistics all night about Android vs Windows vs OSX (and iOS in its various forms), but that point.

A video filtering and then pulled by Microsoft has surfaced that shows some of the Continuum capabilities, a feature of Windows 10 that Microsoft announced months ago, but little has been revealed about it. Essentially turns your Windows Mobile device into a desktop and allows you to use a mouse and a keyboard with running applications across as if they are on a computer running Windows 10.




I was embedded with Apple for more than a decade, but I'm moving slowly away from the ecosystem, and Microsoft is once again getting my interest. Windows 8 is a catastrophe. I received some HP Win8 tablet use for years, but the operating system was so intuitive that I returned to the office for the Classic. Exasperated, I just gave up after a few months of use.

In a Lumia 930 also gave me (after the flagship Nokia Lumia range before the recent announcements 950XL and 950) and found a really capable smartphone, but certainly before an audience of Microsoft, and I daresay one business-oriented rather than a consumer base in general. Actually I could not hold against an iPhone 6 Although the upper chamber, and the biggest drop was the App Store (or simply the lack of applications) that, according to Microsoft, there have been 16 million downloads 669K some applications now available through the Windows Store (being half the amount available in the Apple app store, for example). You could say that if the Windows Mobile platform is not supposed to be full of clones nonsense games, which, if you have taken this into account in Google Play and Apple App Store, so I'm sure the number of applications available would be closer to Microsofts. In a word, if I found a little less discomfort with the Samsung S6 now I have to stop screaming constant attention draining battery applications.

While the surface has not hit home for me personally, the paper surface is a completely different proposition. The comparison with the surface and the iPad was inevitable when he was released, but unfair surface for me represented a device for different uses than the iPad. I certainly do not see people waving a surface for selfies, indicating why people are still treated differently than the Windows iDevices Apple devices. This could simply be a perception of the legacy of being a business oriented operating system

As close to launch its smartphones Lumia, firm approach to niche customers

 
S 'Microsoft Corp. plans to launch new smartphones this week will mark his last attempt to win mobile strategy The new approach comes down to two words. Redefining success.In a media event in New York Tuesday, Microsoft plans to announce at least two high-end Lumia smartphones designed by the company and work with its Windows software, according to people familiar with the plans of the company. The launch of the new high-end devices is to generate buzz for the latest Microsoft smartphone effort.After stirring five smartphones with Windows, Microsoft is gunning for the mass market, but grabbing niches such as companies, where the company expects its smartphones have a competitive advantage.A pivot in the plan is Windows 10, recently published edition of the Microsoft operating system for the first time, personal ties and mobile devices in a homogeneous system computers. Windows users that Excel spreadsheets crunch or make Skype calls on your PC, the thinking goes, will find convincing to have the same experience on their mobile devices.The smartphone make-over is a high-risk maneuver. Microsoft used its Windows franchise for decades to shape the technology industry by controlling calculation device default the PC. As smartphones take this role, owned by Microsoft, you will be dimmed without a direct hand in a dominant platform.

Microsoft's decision to reduce its objective reflects facts: Windows smartphones sold badly and bled money. Two years ago, when Microsoft plunged into the smartphone business with an agreement to buy the operation of the Nokia Corp., Microsoft said it would have a market share of smartphones by 15% in 2018. The company reduced this ambition. This year, about three of every 100 smartphones sold will run on Windows, the research firm IDC estimates. IPhones and smartphones of Apple Inc. Android alphabet created by the software Inc. together form the other 97%.

Exclusive: Microsoft exec responds to Windows 10 privacy backlash

After a long wait, Microsoft is trying to put things in Windows 10 that collects information about you.

Since Windows 10 was launched in July, it had a direct bearing on how Microsoft uses its new operating system to secretly collect data about customers of CTI.

Microsoft has been accused of lack of transparency in the way that records your keystrokes, actions to your Wi-Fi network access, you use your Internet connection to help customers download updates to Windows 10, and it is forbidden to light any exchange of information.

Meanwhile, Microsoft has remained mostly tight-lipped, denying nothing harmful was generally referring people to STIs while convoluted.
 On Monday, Microsoft has issued its first comprehensive response.

In a blog post, Windows director Terry Myerson acknowledged that Windows 10 collects personal information about its customers to allow some of its best features, including virtual assistant Cortana. It also includes information about the performance of your computer to detect and correct errors.

    But he said to Windows 10 users can control the information shared with Microsoft.

"We learn how to explain all this to customers," said Myerson CNN Money in an exclusive interview. "Our privacy are well ... Now we have to keep listening and learning."
Microsoft: We need info to make Windows 10 run better

 In an attempt to regain the trust of customers, Microsoft has provided examples of this kind of information from Windows 10 refers to Microsoft servers. He also explained why this information is used.

Microsoft said it contains some of what is written so that it can offer personalized self-correction. And share access to their Wi-Fi network (if you click a button) to help automatically connect to your friends in your network (or theirs).

   Microsoft (MSFT, tech30) also explained how they turn off - and how to avoid becoming the first to set up your computer.

CNNMoney Myerson confirmed, however, that consumers can not quench data exchange Windows 10. Who sends anonymous information about your PC meets Windows 10 "safety and reliability". Microsoft need this information to solve problems with Windows 10, he said.
"We are not reading your emails"

 Much of the anxiety about privacy Windows 10 started because the new operating system uses many more cloud services than previous versions of Windows. Taking the data on their servers, Microsoft needs more permissions than in the past.

But privacy is inherently confusing. The privacy statement, Microsoft says Windows 10 needs access to his emails so you can deliver - but Myerson denied that anyone at Microsoft has the ability to read their e-mails.

 "We are not reading their email, but do not have custody of his email," he said. "How do these two things are distilled?"

The company says that customers hear what they say. A change will occur soon in Windows 10 is an adjustment with teenagers in mind, rather than a single parameter for toddlers integrated family privacy.

 Privacy concerns are not stopping people from moving to Windows 10, mind you. Windows 10 has been downloaded 75 million times in its first month, which is updating fast pace in the history of Windows. Myerson said customers are mostly satisfied with their experiences of Windows 10.

Recognizing that the conversation private life is not over, Myerson wrote that he and his team "we hope that the next round of questions and comments on these new positions."

"Trust is an essential pillar of our" More Personal Computing vision, and we know we have to win, "says Myerson." I assure you that no other company is more committed, more transparent and more difficult to listen to customers on this important issue we are. "

Apple’s iPad Pro proves

Apple’s iPad Pro proves Microsoft was always right about the Surface

Apple released a slew of new devices. But the announcement was not the most impressive new iPhone, Apple TV or redesigned luxury new Montre Hermès.

The surface was a version of Microsoft - or at least something much like him. Of course, I speak of the iPad Pro, which Apple claims to have the power of desktop-class team and you can buy a keyboard cover - * sigh * - a stylus (which Apple calls a pencil).

 Rather than being a giant tablet with steroids, iPad Pro is a watershed device to Apple for the first time, the company is deliberately blurred the line between their tablets and laptops.

So far, iPads were largely in the consumption of media and testing occasionally on the road, when you turned a MacBook for whatever you want to consider "serious" work. For the average user, which actually was never an issue in which they have to buy.


Things are different now. By showing the processing power and officially throw their weight behind focused on productivity accessories, Apple suggests a vision of the not very dissimilar computers Microsoft tablet that can replace our laptops.

This does not mean that the traditional laptop going away anytime soon - I doubt even Microsoft wants - but the iPad Pro displays a form factor of the surface, as has a real place in the market today.

IPad Pro is supposed to be thin enough to take almost anywhere light, but powerful enough to do most of what you can on a laptop. This is precisely the versatility of the Surface and Windows 10 are intended to enable. Apple could have chosen its mobile operating system foundation, rather than the office, but the ultimate goal is the same.

Of course, the iPad Pro can not do everything the Microsoft Surface or a good laptop can now. IOS still runs, so it lacks the myriad applications of Windows 10 OS X and industry standards.

But that point; this is what the tablet can do, not the operating system is running. Pro IPad applications may not be the same as you get in a laptop, but Apple makes sure you know that the new tablet could do the same kind of thing, only with a different interface:

  •     Most ad Pro is dedicated to productivity, image manipulation and video editing, no games, movies and reading. Apple Microsoft even brought himself on stage demonstration table.
  •     Performance figures are compared with laptops and desktop computers, not other tablets.
  •     If Apple specifies touch was the main way to interact with the iPad, stylus and keyboard are displayed outside suggest precision and accuracy similar to a computer.
  •     iOS 9 introduces new features that you would expect from a desktop computer, such as multi-window multitasking support, and other improvements. These characteristics apply to the Air and the iPad, but Apple clearly had the Pro into account in designing them.
  •     When the last time you even considered 4K edited three videos at the same time? Who cares - Apple has made sure he knew the iPad Pro, you can.

That said, the transition was probably inevitable. Tablet shipments have declined significantly in the last two years, so that Apple was forced to make an iPad more useful - especially now that the phones are large enough to be mini-tablets in their own right.

Microsoft has noticed this trend before anyone; simply stumble trying to get ahead of the game. IPad and iOS Pro 9 are merely the surface and Windows RT could have been if Microsoft had obtained this right.

Of course, if the iPad Pro really boost sales of the tablet it remains to be seen, but it's hard to imagine that cannibalize MacBook sales. If not immediately, then certainly one or two generations.

Federal appeals court set

Federal appeals court set to hear Microsoft 'cloud' case:

 

NEW YORK (AP) - Microsoft Corp. to create a second chance to prove you have the right to retain the data stored abroad in the hands of US researchers when their lawyers who appear before a federal appeals court Wednesday, but the software giant already cover their paris, called on Congress to clarify the law.

The Second Circuit Court of Appeals will hear Microsoft to challenge a decision in July 2014 a lower court holding that a court or law enforcement agencies in the United States has the power to order a person or entity to production materials, even if information is received abroad.

The company, based in Washington, Redmond, I hope the appeals court will overturn the decision that confirms the right of the government of the United States in search of an email account of consumers as Microsoft stores in Dublin, Ireland. The government wants to find the account as part of a narcotics investigation.

An information order was issued in December 2013, saying there was probable cause to believe that the account was opened in 2010 in a property was used for drug trafficking. Microsoft introduced customer's address book, which is stored in the United States.

In court documents, which Microsoft called on Congress to "address the issue of whether, and when, the police should be able to oblige providers like Microsoft to help customers take advantage of emails stored in foreign countries."

"Only Congress has the institutional competence and constitutional authority to balance the needs of law enforcement against the sovereignty of our nation, the privacy of our citizens and the competitiveness of its industry," he said.

But federal prosecutors in Manhattan said in court papers that "the interests of powerful government" replace the potential negative impact on Microsoft's business or any business looking to enjoy the storage in abroad.

"The fact is that there is probable cause to believe that evidence of a violation of the criminal laws of the United States, affecting residents of the United States and the participation of US interests, is present in the records under Microsoft controlling "they write. "With the benefits of corporate citizenship in the United States are related responsibilities, including the responsibility to comply with a disclosure order issued by a US court. Microsoft should not be allowed to complain that this could affect their bottom line. "

Prosecutors said Microsoft still controls the data based abroad and employees of the United States can recover. They said Microsoft's customers have rights under the terms of service of the company to demand that data be stored to any particular data center.

In filing the appeal, the Irish Government said the Irish Supreme Court ruled that the Irish courts have the power to order the production of documents by an Irish company registered by one of its branches in a foreign country. He said that the Irish tax authorities may also require Irish banks to produce records of accounts held by customers, where the information is located.

"Ireland continues to facilitate cooperation with other states, including the US, in the fight against crime and would be happy to consider as soon as possible, a request under the Treaty, should be a given," he said.

In another presentation of Appeal, and 29 new major US and foreign commercial organizations have asked the court to overturn the lower court, telling reporters and editors around the world rely on email services and cloud storage provided by Microsoft and others to collect, store and review documents protected by the First Amendment.

"Even if the subscriber is no longer a journalist - although we do not know for sure - maybe next subscriber," said the court papers.

Microsoft Drops Another Windows 10 Update

Microsoft Drops Another Windows 10 Update:

And then there were three. Earlier this week, Microsoft released a new series of updates for Windows 10, the third time I've done since the operating system was officially launched in late July. Windows 10 is Microsoft's attempt to build a single operating system that can work with any size or variety of entry.As before, the update comes with a minimum of documentation and explanation. And, again, similar to the previous cases, the code is updated with a completely useful set of notes: 


Joking aside, the new update contains all updates made to previous cumulative updates, so if you missed the first round, or two, which should allow them to become quickly.
At this point, we have to take a break. Here's the official word from Microsoft about upgrading:

    
In Windows 10 updates are cumulative. Therefore, this package contains all previously released fixes. If you have installed previous updates, only the new patches are contained in esta This package will be downloaded and installed on your computer.Therefore, Microsoft will continue to release cumulative updates. And in the same sense, I suppose that the company will move packets as it updates the code, distributed primarily through updates and OEM partners; not have to be sent in July 2015 updates forever, because without doubt, the time code will become standard. By now, regular doses of new and old is obtained.And fair play, these update packages are larger fixes and new features. Although Microsoft does not talk much should stop surprising.

Windows 10: Microsoft under attack over privacy

Windows 10: Microsoft under attack over privacy:

 Windows 10 is the object of the attacks on the default settings that users say compromise their privacy, a few days after the successful launch of the operating system has been over 14 million installations in the first 24 hours.
Hundreds of commentators on sites like Hacker News and Reddit have criticized the default settings that send personal information to Microsoft, use the bandwidth to upload data to other computers running the operating system, sharing the words WiFi password with friends online and to eliminate the possibility of removing security updates.
Many complaints concern the new custom invitations integrated in Windows 10. When the operating system is installed, Microsoft assigns the user a unique ID of advertising, which is attached to the e-mail address registered with the company. This email address is also associated with a number of other services, such as productivity programs and communication of the company as well as application downloads and file storage of the cloud.
With this information, Microsoft is able to customize advertisements to the user, both during and surf the web for the latest applications downloaded from the Windows Store, the use of the application. Microsoft itself in the lead on that front, even turning Solitaire building (the card game that was a staple of Windows installations since 1990 Windows 3.0) into a freemium game, with video ads must on the version.
In addition, Windows 10 also harvest user information to teach the integrated personal digital assistant Cortana, Microsoft's answer to Siri. To activate Cortana, the company said it "collects and uses various types of data such as the location of your device, your calendar data, applications used data from their e-mails and text messages who calls you, the contacts and how often you interact with them on their device. "
Users have the option to withdraw from most of the data collection, but critics say that is not enough. Alec Meer, Rock Paper Shotgun game room, said: "Microsoft simply is not enough that they are doing this clearly, how they might affect you and how to withdraw - despite chest-thumping, we are -chums - all here talking about the "real transparency begins with the terms and policies that people can easily understand clearly."
"There is a world in which 45 pages of policy documents and settings opt-out screens spread across 13 different settings and an external Web site constitutes real transparency."
Others have criticized the company to extend the clause reflected in operating conditions that allow it to share user data based on nothing more than a belief in "good faith" of the need to comply with the police, "protect our customers, "the company provide services, or" protect the rights or property of Microsoft. "
The words are reminiscent of those used by the company in March 2014, when he read the hotmail account of a suspect blogger of being involved in a leak of an early version of Windows 10. After facing criticism for doing, Microsoft has strengthened its privacy policy, and promised a full internal legal review before he would do it again in the future.
The European organization Digital Rights (EDRI) summarizes the company 45 pages of terms and conditions that said "Microsoft itself essentially gives very broad rights to gather everything you do, say and write and their devices in order to sell advertising more directed or sell your data to third parties. "
In many respects, however, Windows 10 is simply closer to what has become the new normal with mobile operating systems. Both Siri and Google now need access to personal user information to customize the answers, so that both Apple and Google give developers the ability to deliver personalized ads to users based on the information such as the application installed.
And some of the critical parameters can be a net positive for all concerned. Windows 10 users attacked by offering only two parameters when Windows Update: either install or install and restart immediately and request permission to restart. The option not to install the updates do not seem to be present in the basic version of the operating system. But this decision sounds the advice of security experts, who say that the number one thing for online security is to install each security update immediately.

Microsoft hopes computer users show some love for Windows 10

Microsoft hopes computer users show some love for Windows 10:

 Now someone had to use Windows at work, but uses a Mac at home? Probably.
As Apple has jumped from a blow to the computer manufacturer in the world fifth largest in the world, the Microsoft Windows operating system has been its status as a key business tool, not something that the user could love.
When Windows 10 is on sale Wednesday, starting a new show. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella knows that if Microsoft is competing with Apple, Google and others to another generation, Windows must become desired.
"We want to move people who need to choose Windows Windows, Windows to love" Nadella said.
The urgency is clear. Microsoft generates almost a fifth of its revenue from Windows sales for the departments of corporate information technology and computer manufacturers. While sales of desktop and laptop computers have plummeted, Microsoft has suffered.
Last month, Microsoft closed its less profitable fiscal year in a decade. The annual operating profit weakened 35% to about $ 18 billion.
Apart from Xbox gaming device, Microsoft has failed in an attempt to keep pace with the mobile era. Its surface tablets were recently scored a success, and moves on their smartphones crumpled in a costly disaster. Microsoft recently wrote most of the more than $ 9 billion that former CEO Steve Ballmer paid no less than two years for Nokia phones division, recognizing that he was trying too hard to sell phones that hardly anyone wanted.
"Two major challenges Microsoft: They depend on a PC market and mobile, that are a rounding error of the market share," said Daniel Ives, an analyst at FBR Capital Markets.
However, Microsoft continues to exert considerable influence. Windows 7 is still the most used operating system in the traditional PC, and is a brand that DSI companies will not give up anytime soon.
Now, "the stage is set for Windows 10 to lead its next phase of growth, but as you see lower demand for PCs, Microsoft has to figure out what his next magic trick is," Ives said.
In his-more years on the job, Nadella generates ideas for turning Microsoft - and diversify how money is made. There are computer glasses, slick consumer applications and special tools for developing companies. But Windows 10 is as important as anything Microsoft did because Nadella has enormous cash flow generated by the operating system kept investors lose confidence as they rebuilt.
Microsoft has corrected the lashings that made most people and companies jumping Windows 8 three years ago. The latest Windows updates overly large serving tablet users, relying on online services Microsoft and dismissed it out to be like the Start menu. Windows 8 suffered from an image problem; sales reflect that.
Updating Windows 10 preserves settings such as background images, and can be synchronized seamlessly with files and applications to other devices. Compatibility with older applications, printers and other consumer devices has not been a problem. On computers with the ability of the touch screen it works well if controlled by touch or mouse and keyboard.
Windows 10 also enables faster and robust standard applications. It is much easier, for example, to connect a Gmail account with the email program. Customization and literacy in the Start menu creates applications faster. Cortana, virtual assistant Siri Apple against Microsoft, could be a great time saver for users to hunt for files or only a source of entertainment pleasure.
Future upgrades will be free and frequent. They were executed by five million testers to limit hiccups.cComments

    
I have two laptops Win8 update is touch. Fingers crossed it goes well.

"There should be fewer surprises when nature strikes," said Steve Kleynhans, vice president of Gartner Inc.
Some companies have been so eager to upgrade to Windows 10, in particular due to the improved security features, which have been prepared for months. Michael Keithley, CIO of the talent management company Creative Artists Agency, grew optimistic after trying his team.
Replacing passwords with facial scanning access was one of the new Keithley driven elements. He expects thousands CAA computers must be running Windows 10 instead of Windows 7 later this year.
"There is a general belief that Microsoft under its new management has done many positive things," he said. "Everyone is cautiously optimistic about Windows 10."
A new feature tells users what Microsoft Mobile Apps passenger must download to connect a smartphone.
Nadella bought popular applications such as building game Minecraft and Wunderlist Task Manager. It has spurred efforts to develop Microsoft Office for iPhones, iPads and Android devices. Cortana comes to Android and the iPhone too.
creating applications for non-Microsoft products will not only make life easier for Windows 10 users. Microsoft expected to show innovation Microsoft and to convince consumers to take a second look at Windows.


At least they could form the basis of a new Microsoft. To partially offset the expected decline in revenue from Windows, Microsoft put on things such as greater use of Bing search engines supported by advertising and increased sales of their applications and games.
"We are convinced that it is appropriate to revitalize Windows levers and restore growth," analysts NADELLA last week.
New computers with Windows 10 installed begin appearing Wednesday, but expect the best deals and products to get closer to the holidays. Microsoft, meanwhile, is expected to more revenue from Windows 10 this year. Some companies say they do not make mass updates, but rather buy from Windows 10 machines if necessary, new slower sales.
For consumers with Windows 7 or 8, Windows 10 is a free update for one year. Otherwise, it costs about $ 120.
Last week, the company launched a marketing campaign reminiscent of Windows users should not feel like a necessity. TV commercials highlight the smiling babies, crawling and playing with a voiceover actor Ethan Hawke subtly mention of Windows 10 features.
"They will expect their devices to listen and talk, sing and tell a funny joke," said babies in an allusion to Cortana, for example.
Listings recognize the challenge to Microsoft: It's time to promote love for Windows, but it might take a generation.
