On Wednesday, Microsoft will provide more color about Windows 10 during an event at the company’s headquarters in Redmond, Wash.
1) A sneak peak at the upgrade to Windows smart phones which could be coming next week.
2) A new browser. Codenamed Spartan, it could resemble popular browsers like Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, according to a ZDNet report from December.
3) Continuum. A new feature that adjusts the user interface based on the presence or absence of peripherals like a keyboard.
4) Cortana. The event will have introductions to Microsoft’s virtual helper. Microsoft will make it official and point out the location and powers of Cortana on PCs running Windows 10 at this week’s event.
5) Windows will meet Xbox. Gamers should have some new facts to talk about.
6) A release date. Microsoft chief operating officer Kevin Turner had said that Windows 10 would officially hit the market in “late summer and early fall.” Maybe the event will solidify the release date.
