With Windows 10, we start delivering on our vision of more personal computing, defined by trust in how we protect and respect your personal information, mobility of the experience across your devices, and natural interactions with your Windows devices, including speech, touch, ink, and holograms. We designed Windows 10 to run our broadest device family ever, including Windows PCs, Windows tablets, Windows phones, Windows for the Internet of Things, Microsoft Surface Hub, Xbox One and Microsoft HoloLens—all working together to empower you to do great things.

Windows 10 brings back the Start menu, offers quick startup and resume, and includes Windows Defender for free anti-malware protection.

Here's a look at some of the highlighted new features...

● Cortana, the world’s first truly personal digital assistant helps you get things done. Cortana learns your preferences to provide relevant recommendations, fast access to information, and important reminders. Interaction is natural and easy via talking or typing.

To all of you think cut - paste isn't an option on OS X, install xtrafinder. You can have many new features in Finder. Enjoy

So you have to download an application that should be built into the OS?

Yes @Woz it's a means to an end. Don't think Apple will ever listen to their users

Technically they do because they allow content to the store, but how the hell cant something so obvious not be in OS X. I am clearly using it in iOS even if it shows up and I don't even need it as an option, hence I am even using the latest Yosemite version.

In the latest build (10130) it seems that most bugs have been solved. I've enjoyed seeing this OS develop over time and am very pleased to see how it works on my Acer Switch 10. Love the touchpad functions. I also use Mac OSX. A truly reliable OS, but I've come to find that Windows still has more functionality. I'm not going to state that one is better than the other, but Microsoft listens to the feedback that they get and do something with it. All in all, Mac OSX is real fun and easy to use, but when it comes down to functionalities I prefer Windows.

I find Mac having more functionality. It has tons of effects, dimensions within apps, and looks smooth.

The most advance operating system in the world is Linux. But this without doubt is an improvement over windows 8. The new CEO is doing a good job, and hopefully Microsoft just keeps getting better.

I don't know anyone who uses Linux and haven't seen a single video/movie that shows Linux, but windows 8 would have been better if it would look and work like 7. I am still using it.

Sorry .... but you have cut&paste in Mac ;-) Think for a while and I'm sure that you will figure it out ;-)

Windows 10 is wOw. Best and worlds most advance system yet and always. Mac OSX is not that advance, apple just advertises that it is advance. It seem that Microsoft is booming again.
