i'd be wary tbh. free upgrade (for the first year) could mean either:

a) you can upgrade for free for the first year and keep win 10 permanently for free

or

b) win 10 is subscription and you only get 1 year free, and then have to pay through your nose in subs.

i hope it's (a) but knowing ms, it may well be (b )

I think it's A. Encourage a whole lot of peeps to upgrade from 7 and 8 in the first year, good PR. Then price as normal from that point onwards.

I think its more about getting EVERY one on the one system that 10 clearly is looking.

Mobile Office seems to be hugely improved.

Well, I like the look of this built in game recorder. And you can capture the last 30 seconds.
This should spice up the KSP thread massively.

Looking forward to DX12.

Up to 50 percent increase in performance for games.

"People want to play games longer and for them to look great." Power consumption has been cut in half, so better mobile games that people can play for longer.

Dx12 is impressive

Fable Legends is coming to Windows 10 as well as Xbox One.

Spencer is on Windows 10 and Carter is on the Xbox One. They're playing alongside each other.

"We think enabling people to play multiplayer games on Windows 10, across Xbox One and Windows 10 will unlock the potential of Xbox Live."
