`
`My first experience with Windows 3 inspired bafflement and frustration. But I
`
`walked away from my first few minutes with Windows 10 with a sense of
`
`jealousy. It looks like a significant improvement, and I want it on my PC right
`now.
`
`Microsoft is launching Windows 10 as the new face of both Windows and
`
`eventually Windows Phone. At one point during Microsoft's Tuesday press
`
`event. Terry Myerson. the executive vice president in charge of Microsoft’s
`
`08 group. called the new 08 “our most open. collaborative 05 project ever."
`
`Collaborative. indeed. Microsoft is looking for user feedback. and what I
`
`demo'd on Tuesday may not be the same 08 that customers receive next
`year.
`
`Microsoft executives didn’t even characterize the system as an alpha: they
`
`referred to it as a “build.” 80 with Windows 10 tentatively scheduled to be
`
`launched around the middle of 2015. there's quite a bit of time to change.
`
`remove or add features before the system launches.

`Intel Insideg.
`Extraordinary
`
`
`
`The Windows 10 Start Menu fues Windows '? icons and Windows 8 Live Tiles.
`
`That said, we can still point to various features that embody the new Windows
`
`10 experience. and will almost certainly make the cut. These include the
`
`revamped Start menu; the new "task view.” virtual desktops and ALT-TAB
`
`features; windowed apps: and the new “snap assist” capability. Granted, I had
`
`a just a few moments to play around with each. But I quite liked what I saw,
`
`and if you sign up for the new Windows Insider program, you’ll have a chance
`
`to form your own impressions beginning on Wednesday.
`
`The revamped Start Menu: clean, intuitive
`
`I'm not wholeheartedly in love with the new Start Menu. Aesthetically, it looks
`
`like someone surgically conjoined the Windows 7 and Windows 8 experience.
`
`Move past that inelegance. however. and it‘s darn useful. On the left, there's a
`
`list of frequently used apps. along with shortcuts to PC settings. as well as
`
`your documents and pictures folders. At the bottom. there’s a shortcut to
`
`launch an “all apps“ view.
`
`On the right, the Live Tiles reproduce the functionality of the Windows 8 Start
`
`screen, with resizeable tiles that can dynamically show you how much unread
`
`mail is left. It appears that you should think of Live files more like notifications
`
`Deal POSTS
`
`rather than app shortcuts, although you can use them either way. Microsoft's
`
`demo station had a large oversize tile showing the current calendar
`
`appointment. which seemed appropriate.
`
`
`
`If you want, you can resize the Start menu, increasing or decreasing its size and
`adjusting its position.
`
`Also, if you want to resize the Start menu itself. you’re free to do so.
`
`As some leaked videos foreshadowed. you can revert to the Windows 8 Start
`
`page, if you so choose. But that option wasn’t checked off, leading me to
`
`believe that most people would prefer the desktop experience.
`
`A newWindows world: Task View, virtual desktops, and
`ALT-TAB
`
`One of the Microsoft executives I talked to referred to the new “task vieW' as
`
`a “poor man's multimonitor setup.“ I can understand why.
`
`Virtually all Windows users use ALT-TAB to quickly shuffle between windows.
`
`It's a great way to move from one task to the next. That capability is still
`available in Windows 10.

`

`
`
`Using Alt—TAB to cycle through windows isn‘t that different than Windows 8, but
`you can see more of what each window holds.
`
`What’s different, however, is the new “task view" button. Down in the
`
`Windows 10 taskbar, third from the left. is a button that. when clicked. brings
`
`up an array of “virtual desktops.”
`
`What’s a virtual desktop? Think of it as a virtual display.
`
`If you’re running a multimonitor set-up. chances are you’re already allocating
`
`different applications to different screens: a browser window on one display.
`
`Outlook on another, and maybe a chat app on your docked notebook. But
`
`with Windows 10, Microsoft allows you to snap more than one app to a
`
`screen. So if you choose, you could fill a secondary monitor with an Outlook
`
`pane and a PowerPoint filethat you're referencing in an email to the
`
`colleague.
`
`
`
`The Windows 10 taskbar includes the Windows button. which launches the Start
`menu. the new Task View button. and the Search button. To the far right. the
`"underlined" apps show that they‘re located inside a virtual desktop.
`
`But if you have one monitor, tapping the task view button—or more usefully,
`
`Windows+TAB—swaps between desktops. which are displayed on the bottom
`
`of the display. So if you have a "project screen” with PowerPoint. a browser
`
`window, and OneNote all contained within it. you can swap to an entirely
`
`different virtual desktop, or workspace, perhaps with Facebook and Xbox
`
`Music. You’ll also notice the apps themselves are shown above the desktops
`
`themselves. so if you can’t remember what virtual desktop actually owned
`
`that app, you can justjump into it regardless.
`
`There’s also a feature that may or may not make it to final release: On your
`
`taskbar. you’re probably used to instances of multiple browser windows
`
`stacked on one another. But in Windows 10. you may also see that app
`
`“underlined” by a horizontal bar. showing that it’s in a virtual desktop.

`
`The new task view shows you your virtual desktops, and the apps contained within
`them.
`
`For now, virtual desktops are a convenience. but they could also emerge as a
`
`security feature, allowing users to assign permissions to difierent ones.
`
`Microsoft officials wouldn't tell me if they'll be isolated from one another or
`“sandboxed‘ over time.
`
`Snap snaps with Snap Assist and windowed apps
`
`And what about Snap. the nifty little feature that fills half of a Windows 8
`
`screen? That’s been improved as well. Every app in Windows 10 can be
`
`dynamically resized in a window. although it remains to be see how well this
`
`works in practice.
`
`
`
`Snap a document to one side of the screen, and Snap Assist will suggest some
`others.
`
`In Windows 3. apps can be snapped by clicking the Windows key and the left
`
`or right arrow. snapping them to the left or right of the screen. That fills half
`
`the screen. With Windows 10, up to four apps can be snapped per screen.
`
`maximizing your productivity.
`
`What’s neat, though, is that once you snap an app, Windows 10 suggests
`
`another, similar app that you might want to snap next to it. from a small
`
`collection of windows. The feature is intended to save you the hassle of
`
`hunting about through menus to actually construct a virtual desktop. Time will
`
`tell whether these suggestions will prove useful. but it’s a good start.
`
`You can see, however, that a number of different features—Snap Assist.
`
`windowed apps, virtual desktops—all flow somewhat organically into one
`
`another. I’m honestly interested to see what difference they make in my own
`
`daily workflow.
`
`Last but not least: Search improvements
`
`Windows 10 also adds a search button to the taskbar. moving the other major

`tunctlonallty ot the Windows is Stan page to the desktop enVIronment. IT
`
`you're like me, you really don't click icons on the Start page any more (or use
`
`bookmarks when searching the Web). Instead, "searching" for recent apps or
`
`documents is often quicker.
`
`I Windows 10
`
`Microsoft promises consistent experiences over a variety of form factors and
`screen sizes.
`
`That approach is also found in Windows 10. Microsoft otticials say that
`
`Search and File Explorer now displays your recent files and frequently visited
`
`folders, making finding files you've worked on faster and easier.
`
`Granted, Microsoft's Windows 10 demonstration was somewhat orchestrated
`
`to put its best face forward. But with potentially millions of eager Windows
`
`users prepared to bang away on it beginning Wednesday, any flaws will be
`
`quickly exposed. What's refreshing is Microsoft is actually encouraging this,
`
`similar to the way in which “developers”—i.e.. fans—were encouraged to take
`
`its latest Windows Phone builds for a spin.
`
`Love it or hate it? Microsoftwants to know. But lthink you’ll quite like
`Windows 10.
