Batu69 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Redmond shows new video during Build conference Microsoft revealed during the first day of Build 2016 developer conference that Windows 10 was running on more than 270 million devices, making it the fastest-growing version of the operating system “ever.” A video streamed by the company during the opening keynote put Windows 10’s achievements in the spotlight in order to clearly show that adoption of the new operating system goes according to plan, and the whole world is actually moving to it. Microsoft says that Windows 10 has recorded “the most monthly hours of use ever,” and somehow, it has managed to figure out that “customers love it more than any other Windows.” Truth be told, Windows 10 has proven to be quite a love-it-or-hate-it kind of product, as part of those who installed it liked what they saw instantly while others are fighting hard to stick with Windows 7 or 8.1 despite Microsoft’s push. Cortana adoption already impressive Additionally, the Redmond-based software giant claims that adoption of Cortana personal assistant is also impressive now that this technology is available on desktop computers too. There have been “over 5 billion questions asked of Cortana” since the launch of Windows 10, Microsoft says in the video. Cortana is one of the OS features getting updates frequently and is set to receive more improvements with the upcoming Windows 10 Anniversary Update due in the summer. “6.6 million hours of Xbox One games were streamed to Windows 10 PCs,” and the debut of the new OS marked “the biggest year in Xbox history,” it adds as it tries to push Windows beyond the desktop. Microsoft also praises the store and the universal app platform in the video, so have a look by clicking the play button below.

If i need to block it whats the point of installing it? I can install Windows 7 , Windows 8.1 or even Linux without these features and I dont always have it in the back of mind are they still spying on me . It made me paranoid to tell you the truth . Only way it could be the best O/S is if you don't care about you're privacy or you didn't realize that it invades you're privacy and you would have to be totally out of touch with reality if you haven't heard by now, but from my own testing not others words, there's no way i would ever trust it. And this is just one problem i had with it but by far the biggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pc71520 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Quote Microsoft revealed today that eight months after launch, Windows 10 is now on 270 million active devices. That's an increase of about 70 million devices since January 2016, when Microsoft revealed that Windows 10 was running on more than 200 million devices. The company revealed other numbers of interest. Windows 10 users spent 75 billion hours in Windows 10, and that more than 500 new devices built specifically for the platform have been released already. http://www.ghacks.net/2016/03/30/microsoft-build-2016-keynote-summary/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylence Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Apart from all the positive/negative bullshits going around Windows 10, you can't ignore these great features it's got that 8.1 and 7 doesn't. 1st the cumulative updates that made life A LOT easier for everyone, (no need to spend hours after installing Windows to install hundreds of updates and multiple restarts afterwards). 2nd, the DirectX 12 (Obviously). 3rd, the built in virtual desktops that you can switch between almost instantly in case you need to (Ctrl+Win+right/left arrows). 4th, the store apps, almost all the fundamental apps available for Android/IOS are available on Win store too. honestly Win 7 is too old for 2016 and Win 8.1's UI is a nightmare..

People stayed on XP for 12 years tell they stop giving updates and still it has a lot of people on it. but as developers drop support for it it will become like windows 98. So most chose stability over being new. I know I do with Windows and Linux. Witch I have more than one PC and one with dual HHD were i can test newer things without it being my production O/S . I was on XP for 10 years and many reverse engineers and other people were still on it after i went on Windows 7 . Anyone that had problems with Windows 8.1 UI dont know very much about pcs at all it can be tweaked very easy to look and run anyway you want . I will be glad when they start charging money for Windows 10 ,when people have to buy it , the real truth will be reviled . Any new O/S you should test it at lest a month in real time to see if that's the way you want too go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So by people you mean only yourself, gotcha. none of the tweaks for Windows 8.1 can make it as good as Windows 10's UI. people already have to buy it, actually Microsoft started rolling out Windows 10 copies from the first day it was released. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832588491 AFAIK the truth is already revealed, you missed Assassin's Creed revelation ?

Most distros i dont like the look of but the only windows i really liked the looks of was windows 7 . Most any distro you can make them look as you want many come with several different guis you can download for them without changing distros at all , so really that's a not reason too distro hop . Once you download a theme you can easy change them from the theme manger. I try different distros on my on other HHD and dual boot but really I dont hop much. I may be changing soon after i been on Linux a year i may go to something more advanced soon . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haxzion Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 If you can't tell the difference between Mac and Linux and if you really believe that Win10 ui is actually good then you really deserve your free copy of Win10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven36 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Closest thing to a Mac OSX i ever tired was elementary OS Linux it won Best-Looking Distro 2016 . I never bought a Mac box all my boxes came with Windows on them. What i meant by advanced was a rolling-release distribution of Linux witch is much more harder to maintain and learn like ARCH .

I went on windows last month for about 20 days in a row i think that was the longest i was on windows since i bought that PC , I had to get back on Linux again before i relapsed back to my old bad habits again . I dont want have to buy no new hardware soon I just bought a new windows 8.1 DELL PC back in the fall 2015 they was on sale because the newer ones with Windows 10 were coming out. That's why I switch back and forth Ill use my PC with 3 year old hardware in it and ill use my newer one for awhile to make them last longer . My Windows 7 x64 machine 4 cores never been used much i just have it to convert videos and stuff in i've had it since like 2011 same hardware . Only reason you would change Hardware a lot if you game or it failed , Best to just wait tell you're ready to buy a new PC if you dont game a lot even if i did game on a pc and had to use windows 10 i would dual boot it with Linux and only use Windows 10 for gaming . My Nephew has a PC with windows 10 on it, he only uses to game. When needs to do his school work he uses his Windows 7 PC he dont trust it to be a work PC .
