Build on
Windows 10 is now available on the Raspberry Pi 2 micro computer and Intel Minnowboard Max, in addition to the standard tablets, laptops and desktop systems you'd expect. Some specific tailoring had to be done to fit the operating system on these tiny machines, resulting in a version of the OS earning the name Windows 10 IoT Core.
Cortana
One of the key features of Windows 10 is Microsoft's voice-based virtual assistant Cortana serves up information based on how people search the web and how they use their PCs. The Cortana interface also supplies suggestions for new apps, based on what people search for. Cortana also enables you to interact with apps purely through voice control.
Staying secure
Running the world's most ubiquitous OS, Microsoft has always taken security seriously, often releasing patches daily to its various versions of Windows. Now, the company is looking to take its security measures to the next level, with two-factor authentication (2FA) becoming standard on enterprise versions of the OS.
Microsoft also intends to protect user identities by storing user access tokens in a secure container that runs on top of Hyper-V technology, isolated from the rest of the OS. Windows 10 will also offer a data-loss prevention solution that will allow users to separate their corporate personae from their non-work ones.
