| I see Windows 10 as a part of the continuing evolution of Windows - it's not a million miles away from Windows XP, but I wouldn't want it to be. Some new features: - Cortana (I don't use it, but I know lots of people that do) - The Windows Store and UWP apps - High DPI support (this is something MS does very well compared to Linux desktops) - Windows Hello (I find this really for signing in with a fingerprint) - BitLocker (this is a bit one, IMO) - Device Guard (Enterprise only, AFAIK. Very usual in certin environments) - Windows Defender (it's now a 1st class AV - I have no reason to use anything else) - Window Defender Exploit Guard - Windows Defender Credential Guard - Windows Defender ATP (only for large enterprises, but it's amazing) - Windows S mode (this is a pretty big deal, and it's suitable for a lot of consumers, even if it's not exactly HN users' target market) - Improved VPN support - Built-in snipping tool (WIN + SHIFT + S) - Dark mode (I like this) - Improved Start Menu (IMO) - Task switcher - Action centre - Improved command prompt (even supports copying with CTRL-C, how incredible!) - Edge (OK, maybe moot now) - Multiple desktops (yes, I know these have been a feature of Linux window systems for decades) I imagine I've left out quite a bit too. |
