A few days
back, Microsoft officially announced Windows 10 Technical Preview to be
launched soon, and a trial pack of the same is available for download and
use. The article mentions all the
features of the same, along with the date it is to be launched and its price.
Its previous
Windows 8 had failed miserably, and there were only a few who had decided to
update to this version. After facing the criticism Microsoft decided to make a
jump, and launch a superior and enhanced version, Windows 10.
Date for launching Windows 10
Microsoft has
officially announced that they will launch their Windows 10 sometime in 2015
fall winter. Other sources believe that the OS would be launched in April; however
official sources say that the news is false.
A few days back, the official team made an announcement that they will
disclose more information in April 2015, during their Build Conference.
Price of the same
Previously
there were certain rumors that Windows will grant this version for free to the
consumers, however later it was confirmed that people will certainly have to
pay for Windows 10. The official team of Windows has currently refused to
reveal any information in regard to the price. However, the Microsoft
Indonesian president, Andreas Diantoro revealed the fact that Windows 8 users
would be able to update to Windows 10 for free, however the news has not been
fully confirmed yet. It might also be that Windows 8 users get a special
discount while purchasing the new version and the news would not be revealed
until April, 2015.
Features
The Windows
10 features are somewhat going to be similar to Windows 7 and not Windows 8.
Several Windows 8 users had craved for the Start option, and the Microsoft development
team has decided to re-incorporate the same in Windows 10. Another enhancement
in the latest version would be that users would be able to resize the Start
menu according to their priority. Another addition would be Task View which is
a new button on the task bar. In the Task View users would be able to see all
the application running in the form of thumbnails.

It is because
of the huge success of Windows 7 that developers have decided the new version
to be similar; however people would be also thankful of some of the newer
additions into the 10 version.
If you wish
to know more about the version, you can download the Windows 10 Technical
Preview. However, avoid installing it on your main computer and instead do the
same in your PC. Installing it on the computer may cause it to crash frequently
as it is still in the beta version.
Like Windows
7, you will notice the Start button; however it is a bit different from its
initial version. The left side contains the familiar menu column with options
like shortcuts, settings, and applications. The Start button also contains a
new ‘search everywhere’ option, in which you can type the name of a file and
data and search for it. You can also customize the Start menu with the help of
‘pin to start’ option.
