Batu69 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Redmond starts teasing new Windows 10 features Windows 10 Redstone is already an exciting update for the core operating system, given the fact that it’ll bring browser extensions to users, but it appears that Microsoft is working on something that’s even more exciting than that. Although development has already started behind closed doors, Microsoft executives are now teasing some of the new features on Twitter, thus trying to suggest that something unexpected will come. Something “that will change everything,” as they say. “You are all gonna freak out!” First of all, it’s Rich Turner, Senior Program Manager on the Windows team, who has posted a teaser and who says, as Neowin notes, that he got to “play with the new Windows 10 features and you are all gonna FREAK Out when you see this.” While he hasn’t provided any new details regarding these features, it’s very clear that at least an early version has been created, and the chances are that he’s not talking about browser extensions. Scott Hanselman, Principal Program Manager and Community Architect on the Azure Application Platform and Tools group, has also joined the teasing frenzy and revealed that these features “are going to CHANGE EVERYTHING.” Again no details, but Turner has added that more specifics will be provided during the BUILD developer conference kicking off this month. “These features (I know what this is because I'm helping) are going to CHANGE EVERYTHING. No joke. You can't even,” Hanselman has tweeted. While it’s clearly too early to speculate on what exactly Microsoft’s officials are referring to, there’s no doubt that Redstone is going to be quite an exciting release for everyone on Windows 10. Redstone is projected to make its public debut in June, but work has already started, and insiders are getting preview builds to try out new features. An upcoming build is likely to bring support for browser extensions, one of the features that are also supposed to be part of the final release later this year.

Karlston Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Perhaps they're going to start nagging Windows 10 users to upgrade to Windows 7. Or maybe announce their exciting new subscription model for Windows 10. Only $x/month lets you keep using it past July. That would definitely freak out Windows 10 users.

VileTouch Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 omg! they're finally changing the recycle bin icon! Quote How many Microsoft employees does it take to change a lightbulb? One dev to spend five minutes implementing ChangeLightBulbWindowHandleEx One program manager to write the specification. One localization expert to review the specification for localizability issues. One usability expert to review the specification for accessibility and usability issues. At least one dev, tester and PM to brainstorm security vulnerabilities. One PM to add the security model to the specification. One tester to write the test plan. One test lead to update the test schedule. One tester to write the test cases and add them to the nightly automation. Three or four testers to participate in an ad hoc bug bash. One technical writer to write the documentation. One technical reviewer to proofread the documentation. One copy editor to proofread the documentation. One documentation manager to integrate the new documentation into the existing body of text, update tables of contents, indexes, etc. Twenty-five translators to translate the documentation and error messages into all the languages supported by Windows. The managers for the translators live in Ireland (European languages) and Japan (Asian languages), which are both severely time-shifted from Redmond , so dealing with them can be a fairly complex logistical problem. A team of senior managers to coordinate all these people, write the cheques, and justify the costs to their Vice President. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may be the case by the time they get those browser extensions or at lest it want be free anymore i can just pray they start charging for it by the end of July . Microsoft lied about so much in 2015-2016 . I dont know what believe anymore though, will it be free tell they make it mandatory on skylake possessors in 2017? Are they going get everyone to upgrade windows 10 and make Windows 11 ? And to beat it all they say it will change everything and this is only half the update . So it's very misleading if it will change everything why are they going to make people wait a year to get part 2 of the update that was meant to come out this coming fall? Windows 10 was a rush job it was meant to come out last fall and it came out last summer by fall i had stop testing it . Maybe the fact people are going to have to pay has something to do with why a year between updates for stability reasons. But i remember them promising us we was going get a start menu in Windows 8.1 and other goodies on this very site and they pushed out Windows 10 too early instead . Just like they promised Windows 7 users stuff they never made good on. Maybe it will happen again? Reading the Windows 10 news is like watching some kind of sifi show. To beat it all, most bloggers dont even read comments about there stories to keep it from driving them nuts.. but they will make stories about other peoples comments to make a new story lol. If you had a time machine and sorted out fact from fiction the results would be shocking. http://news.yahoo.com/10-things-comments-section-taught-050034492.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You left out one group of Microsoft employees... Ten member obfuscation team to hide the lightbulb change in a completely unrelated Windows update. Funny post BTW.

oliverjia Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I am tired of the gimmicks that these Redmond morons pushing out every while and then. An OS is not a fxxking toy, it's supposed to be stable and usable so that people can get the actual work done. I am installing Ubuntu 14.04.4 on all my computers. Good bye stupid Windows 10. Maybe I'll still use MS Office and Adobe Acrobat, Photoshop etc, these will be done in a Windows 7 Virtual Machine, that does not have network capacity.

steven36 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Quote This is a Pwn2Own first. It’s also a very worrying development. As ZDI researcher Jasiel Spelman noted, researchers and attackers are likely focusing on the kernel in response to advances in sandboxing. It’s a truism in security that when you harden one area, attackers and researchers will move their attention to another one. Based on Pwn2Own 2016, it appears that’s happening with a shift to focus on the kernel. This is also borne out by what we’re seeing in Linux lately: while Linux is outside the focus of Pwn2Own, we’ve seen a number of Linux kernel issues lately. So much for it being the safest O/S, no one hardly uses the sandbox part of the O/S anyways hackers shifted there focus on the Windows kernel and programs outside the sandbox. Linux has its issues too but not very many programs require root password unless doing updates and a few other things so its mostly sandboxed . This gives Microsoft further excuse to make legacy apps obsolete . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Microsoft dont care about what you like, they been proving this every since they made windows 8.. They want to control it all the software you use , The games you play ,The Browser you use and harvest all you're data . The want a cut out of everything you use on there O/S. There becoming the PC Mafia . They didn't make but a little over 3 billion on windows in 2015 down 5% and that came from selling mostly Windows 7 pro. Windows is at the bottom of the barrel for there profit makers . You think the care about its PC users ? There more worried about making it work in XBOX and 2in1 Microsoft Surface things that really make them money still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
