Microsoft Takes Their ‘One OS’ Project Ahead With Windows 10

With Windows 8, Microsoft was trying to actualize their policy of ‘One OS’ for all Windows devices. Then again, they attempted to do this with the same UI on all Windows devices. Clearly, this backfired. The desktop users were not enthusiastic about using a confined OS UI designed for small touch screen devices. There was no need to remove the Start Menu, Task Bar and other desktop UI components from a wide screen OS, where there is a lot of screen space.

Windows 10 will be there on Different UI on Different Devices

With Windows 10, Microsoft will continue the ‘One OS’ project and they are officially abandoning the ‘One UI’ approach. Instead, the OS will spot a different UI on every device, a UI that is most suitable for that device. For a desktop system, where there is a lot of screen space, the users will see a full Desktop UI with Start Menu and Task Bar. However, the All Programs segment in the Start Menu is presently replaced by a Metro-style applications screen.

Be that as it may, on a device with smaller screens like a Smartphone or a tablet, the same OS will embrace the Metro UI, which is more suited to be used on the constrained screen space available. There is even a talk that Microsoft is designing the One OS undertaking to include Wearable devices like smartwatch and also gaming consoles like Xbox One. As such, they have not released any details regarding the installation of the OS on such devices.

Only the Windows 10 Preview is out, with no announcement yet on the date of final release. Microsoft has decided to release the preview version now in order to start their Windows Insider program, through which they are hoping to gather however much user feedback as could be expected before they release the final version for Windows 10.

This is clearly an attempt to not repeat the errors they made on Windows 8. Already, Microsoft has reportedly received a huge number of feedbacks from the users trying out the Windows 10 Preview version. The total number of downloads for the OS Preview version online has crossed the one million mark. These are indeed positive signs.

With the active participation of Windows OS users in the Windows Insider program, you can hope to see some user-friendly changes in the final version of Windows 10. You can easily register for the Windows Insider program by signing up using your Microsoft ID.

Some have gone to the degree of comparing Windows 8 with the nightmare that is Windows Vista.

That being said, as with Windows Vista, the software creator needs to minimize the damages and return with an awesome OS. Windows 7 was a superb change from Windows Vista. Presently, Microsoft needs to do same thing. They have already made their plans clear with the Windows 10 release, which will happen next year.

Indeed the customary Desktop is back. This time users require not need to go through some of the annoying Windows 8 UI to get to the Desktop mode.

Through Windows 10 release, the company can possibly reclaim some of the reputation that they lost with Windows 8. Apart from that, there are some new features, for example, the Task View. This came after unceremoniously dumping the task switcher in Windows 8. The feature permits users to switch between virtual desktops. Another great feature is the new Snap Assist helping users to snap window. A new Snap Assist feature also helps users work out, which way is the truly best to snap applications to.
