Windows 10: The Next Generation Microsoft OS

Forget about Windows 9. Microsoft will be launching the Windows 10 instead. Not sure what is the reason behind the naming convention, maybe it's because it was initially leaked by Microsoft China's social media page. If you have forgotten about that news due to the iPhone and iOS8 hype, then please read the accidental leak in The Verge.

Microsoft is moving forward in the Mobile First era by ensuring its new platform will run across all of its Windows devices. Satya Nadella has already pointed out early of the year that he will focus on Cloud and Mobile as his direction for the company.

Windows Phone has been running in the shadows of iOS and Android, but analysts and my encounters with various enterprise clients, it seems like Windows Phone could be the next big thing especially when my clients are moving forward to Office365 and Microsoft Azure.

The UI for Windows 10 is rather simple and familiar with the ones on Windows 8. So, users would not have to learn all over again. And for modern apps meant for touch behaviour, it will be a hybrid model where devices which still rely on mouse and keyboard UI, will still experience the same behaviour as the ones on touch. This is rather essential for user friendliness. And hey, our familiar, "Start Menu" is back on Windows 10!

More details, you can read from the article on TechSpot.

So, are you excited for what Microsoft has in store for us? I am looking forward to how Microsoft is going to make their platform enterprise ready as I am seeing a large activity among most EMM players working hand-in-hand with Windows Phone platform.
