Windows 10 to Weave Microsoft-Powered Devices Together - Microsoft pulled back the curtain Wednesday on a coming Windows 10 operating system focused on bringing harmony to the diverse array of Internet gadgets in people's lives.
The US technology titan is also trying to make it more natural to interact with devices, such as conversational-style speaking with the company's virtual assistant Cortana.
"The number of devices is just exploding around us," Microsoft's Terry Myerson said during a presentation to press and analysts at the company's headquarters in Redmond, Washington.
"It should be easy to put one device down and pick up another where you left off; technology needs to get out of the way."
Windows 10 is being designed with feedback from millions of "insiders" testing early versions of the operating system, Myerson said.
That feedback and design creates a foundation on which developers can build applications for smartphones, tablets, laptops, desktop computers, and Xbox One video game consoles, he said.
During the first year after the release of Windows 10, the operating system will be available as a free upgrade for computers running prior generation Windows 8.1 or Windows 7 software.
Microsoft said it will also keep Windows 10 upgraded during the lifetime of devices.
Personalized virtual assistant Cortana, and its touted ability to answer questions conversationally, will be now available on personal computers. Cortana made her debut on Windows-powered mobile devices.
Microsoft also unveiled a new Web browser code-named Spartan, which will have Cortana built in and ready to chime in at presumably helpful moments.
Spartan is poised to be the successor to Internet Explorer.
"Project Spartan is a new browsing experience tuned for being mobile and working across this family of devices," said Microsoft's Joe Belfiore.

Windows 10 Update Is Coming ... Get your Tech On!
Windows 10 Update Technical Preview
Windows 10 Update is just on the horizon. While it’s no secret that I prefer the Linux operating system, I recently started a series about Windows entitled “Patch or Smash Windows XP” and thought that this would make an excellent follow up. Many Windows users have extremely strong preferences for specific distributions and XP’s following was no exception, in fact it was the rule. So as the rumors circulate that XP, Vista, and 7, users will be asked to switch over to 10 (possibly for free) my curiosity was piqued. Windows 10 Technical Preview I spent 6 weeks on Windows XP comparing it to other Windows and Linux just to get familiar enough with everything to write an honest comparative between them and honestly I wasn’t surprised to see a properly formatted and *configured XP system with service pack 3 outperform many other configurations of both Vista, and 7. *Properly configured meaning every service pack, updated runtimes, correct versions of vc basic runtimes, Direct X updates, .net frameworks, etc etc. Please note that Vista and 7 when *configured correctly, and particularly with the right service packs, each had performance advantages over XP though they weren’t particularly noticeable aside from start ups and shutdowns.
