Microsoft Announces Windows 9 Beta Release by Geestunnar(m): 1:56pm On Nov 06, 2014 |
Microsoft surprised the world when they announced Windows 10, which is basically Windows 9, but they skipped that name in favor of something a little more edgier, apparently. However, fret not, as the tech company also announced, more recently, that they would release the upcoming operating system in beta form thanks to its Technical Preview, reports BreatheCast. The full release for Windows 9/10 will hit mid-2015, so the forthcoming preview build will be a great chance to try out the new features and layout. The Windows 9 Technical Preview is currently being called Build 9860, and will be accompanied by a notification center seen on the Windows Phone, a keyboard shortcut for app movement across the screens, a battery saving feature, a data use monitor, and settings for Windows Insiders. The data monitor center is quite interesting, as it will offer users the chance at checking out upcoming builds of the operating system as Microsoft is working on them. Microsoft announced the Windows 9 Technical Preview is available for download to test right now, but will only run until April 15, 2015. So, interested users have the opportunity to try out the upcoming operating system software for a few months before Microsoft removes the ability completely ahead of launch. The company has not announced an official release date for Windows 10, unfortunately. They did, however, confirm that the OS would work with all current Microsoft devices, include smartphones equipped with “universal” apps. The recent release of Windows 8 proved to be problematic for users, as it offered a “different environment” for desktop and PC users, according to Corporate Vice-President for the Microsoft OS group, Joe Belfiore. The operating system looked and felt more like a mobile device setup, which made using it trick with a mouse and keyboard. Windows 9/10 has fixed that issue, and will offer a “familiar UI” for those users. The upcoming operating system should prove to be quite enjoyable for the majority of users. Microsoft is taking certain aspects back to their basics, allowing consumers to work through the new features in their intended manner, such as a mouse and keyboard on the desktop computers. The software release cannot get here soon enough. |
