"Forget passwords – Windows 10 will apparently let you login with a scan of your face. In other words, it will use biometric data to unlock your computer".

I will never log in with a scan of my face in todays internet world. Good for Microsoft, but I am very much okay with Windows 7. Using a scan of my face as password is an excessive and extreme intrusion in my privacy. Not for me.

With all this hype or so/funtionalities, i just hope it doesnt beat down my expectations. Been a Microsoft fanboy though.

These tech companies had better gear up, cause I am coming with my own universal OS; i call it - Tri OX OS!

Ghen ghen! End-time tins! Repent and accept Jesus today before it is too late!! With your fingerprints and eye gestures regularly updated each time you sign in to your computer there is no hiding place from the antichrist for those who get left behind after the rapture!!!

Are you looking forward to Windows 10? Many people are thanks to the resounding disappointment Windows 8 seemed to be with the masses. The last Windows version I used was 7, and I have to say I thought it ran smoothly and I don’t remember any problems with it. Windows 10 is making some big changes, however, starting with the way you login to the computer in the first place. Forget passwords – Windows 10 will apparently let you login with a scan of your face. In other words, it will use biometric data to unlock your computer. Apart from a scan of your whole face, it will also reportedly allow you to login with a retinal scan as well as a read of your fingerprint(s). This feature will be known as Windows Hello.

Microsoft is doing this due to the ease with which passwords are hacked, and while no system is completely foolproof, this move certainly seems to be a step in the right direction.

Apart from the biometric data feature, Cortana will also be available as a digital assistant.

The release date of Windows 10 is still unknown, but hopefully it’ll be sometime this year. Are you excited for the new operating system?

End time innovations.. The new world order is being integrated small small.

you peeps should please shut up....there is so much fear of technology that every innovation is deemed as new world order. The same way your grand parents called all the innovations of their time a new world order.

I am currently using the Technical Preview of Windows 10. Shame the license expires on April 15. I love the overall feel as well as the re-emergence of the start button. I was really at sea with Windows 8/8.1

My question though is where can I download Windows 10 for Raspberry Pi 2. I'm tossing an idea in my head for an IoT project

Did you actually expect windows 10 to run on Raspberry Pi 2?...Like seriously, forget that bro Pi 2 doesn't have the ability to run Windows 10, I can even begin to wonder why you need a fancy windows 10 for a deplorable IoT project?...
Re: Windows 10 Will Log You In Using Your Biometric Data by dynamicbuzz(f): 11:56am On Apr 07, 2015
For the face scan, when there isn't bright light, won't it be a sort of difficulty? In my phone, the whole face password lock becomes hard to use at night. Except they plan on implementing just for facial structure and not looks.
