Microsoft has provided features in the new operating system that can bring its users to the Windows Store and it seems to be working.
Cortana works in Windows 10 providing the users with recommendations on the apps that they might like depending on their personal interests and according to their browsing usage. In an email response to a reader of the site Jonathan, Insteon said an update is “currently underway and will be released soon”.
StatCounter’s data validates expectations of how Windows 10 would be adopted: That Windows 8.1 users, who were not only running the latest OS – upgrade installations nearly always initially skew toward those starting from newer OSes – but were presumably the least satisfied with their edition because of its bifurcated user interface (UI), would be the first to jump on Windows 10 and its restoration of the Start menu.
The blog post has also announced that there are more to come as they plan to update the Store for new capabilities to market faster. (Answer: Yes – users have one month afer upgrading to revert); Can I reinstall Windows 10 after upgrading (Yes, though any significant hardware changes might require customer support); and Will all my stuff be in the cloud?
For those of us with Insteaon connected homes you may be wondering if the company was still standing strong with Microsoft. Windows 10’s design apparently addresses the user need.
The blog stated that Windows 10 users have been downloading apps six times more than those using Windows 8.
For tracking the malicious and malware, windows defender has been provided. “Device Guard on Windows 10 Enterprise changes from a mode where apps are trusted unless blocked by an antivirus or other security solutions, to a mode where the operating system trusts only apps authorized by your enterprise”. Now we wait to see whether app developers will follow the crowd. “In addition, the Start menu, Microsoft Edge and the Notification Center will also suggest apps that customers might enjoy”. The title of his piece?: “7 things I still hate about Windows 10”. All of these features are available for any Windows 10 tablet desktop computer, including the Microsoft Surface, adds Josh Jacobson. It would appear that Windows 10 hasn’t gotten everybody there quite yet.
