The four Main features that come with the update Microsoft Windows 10 Anniversary this summer





Microsoft announced last night that he would be bringing some new features for developers in the form of windows 10th Anniversary SDK update. The same will also be coming in the form of an update for Windows 10 users as well

EVP Microsoft, Windows and Device Group, Terry Myerson announced that the software giant will be releasing Windows 10 Anniversary Windows 10 upgrade for all customers free of charge this summer.

So what's all the fuss? Well, there are many new features that come with the big update, but we will sift through them and just focus on the four most important that should matter to consumers.

1. Windows Hello will offer biometric security for apps




Microsoft claims that Windows Hello will now offer enterprise-level security. Security difference, this also means that log on to their Windows 10 devices becomes much easier with the next update. Even more convenient is the fact that now works with Microsoft browser Hello edge; It means that users will soon be able to log in with Hello in support sites without the need to remember and enter a password. With the new update Hello also work with compatible applications as well.

2. Ink Windows




An API coming to developers, Windows ink will allow users to interact in a more natural way with both native applications and third. Ink basically allows applications on Windows 10 to understand their probe inputs even better, allowing you to do more than jot down notes and scribbling out equations. Microsoft Windows is the integration of ink in your own applications like Maps, Edge and Microsoft Office. The addition of the API also takes very little time and effort according to Microsoft, so here's hoping that many third-party developers adopt it in their applications.

3. Cortana finds its way into more applications

With the next update, Cortana becomes smarter than before. The peculiar wizard now be able to buy lunch and even arrange transportation to the meeting in a restaurant that exists in your calendar. Apart from being available in more than 1,000 applications, Cortana will also be available right on the lock screen. It will be able to take applications for common tasks without having to unlock the PC. More importantly, the wizard works on all devices (and even platforms) so that it can continue performing tasks in the Android smartphone if you started off on the Windows desktop 10. Very good, huh? Even cooler is the fact that developers can integrate learning Cortana for use in proactive actions that will help provide better and timely services to users.

4. More support for games and a unified Windows Store

Games definitely gets a boost in the next update for Windows 10 and had a lot of advertisements related to it on day one of Build 2016 Cortana, besides being available everywhere, will also be available on the Xbox One. What this means is that players can interact with Cortana and find new games, challenges and even get tips and tricks at certain levels. As for the Windows Store, which now offers a unified experience for customers and developers. Customers can now view the contents of Xbox in the Windows Store, while developers benefit from the opportunity to reach new customers.

Google+ and Facebook: The rise of social networks and failed attempts that followed




There is general consensus on the importance of social media. The brands around the world have made social media a multimillionaire empire. It turns out that, aside from Twitter and Facebook, many have not succeeded in leaving a mark with a successful social network.

It is an endless cycle. You join a network, and enjoy it, because all your friends are there. And then some of his friends speak of new networks boast of a couple of interesting new features. And you think to yourself, you're probably better in a place with more friends, rather than have their friends scattered across networks.

Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn, even largely made most of the early advantage in carving a niche movement. For communicating short form, Twitter stands out. For networks with old friends, Facebook has built the largest user base, and when it comes to a professional network, LinkedIn is arguably the most credible of all.

All of these names aside, there have been attempts by Google and Microsoft to build a successful social network. About the same time, Google had discovered that his first attempt at social media - Orkut - was not very successful. There had to be something new. Something that was better.

Goole +


Failure is not new to Google. Google+ Before there was Google Wave, which was destined to revolutionize the way we looked email. Then there was Google Buzz. Is no one even remembers them anymore. In a very interesting article on Mashable, Vic Gundotra is reported to have constantly released to the CEO of Google, Larry Page, the need to create a social network. Quoting a former executive of Google, he says the report, "Vic was just this constant error in Larry's ear:" Facebook will kill us. Facebook will kill us. Vic'm pretty sure managed to scare Larry in action. And voila: Google+ born ".

Today, Google is considered as death, if not dead. Vic Gundotra is not Google's. But the money has been invested and remains invested. According to preliminary estimates in 2011, the total investment that went into Google+ was $ 585 million US dollars. TheNextWeb said the number "is eerily close to what News Corp paid for MySpace so many years ago, which was $ 580 million in 2005."

Microsoft Socl

When it comes to Microsoft, the focus today is on Windows 10, and other exciting products as Cortana and HoloLens. However, in December 2010, Microsoft offered to buy Facebook for $ 15 billion. And humbly Facebook refused to sell. Microsoft then tried to create social network itself.

Microsoft has a social network called So.cl (pronounced social) and the possibilities that have heard of it are pretty slim. In many ways, So.cl is similar to Google+.

We wonder why companies the size of Google and Microsoft have failed to create a social network worth considering. There is, it comes down to what users experience and hope. Any attempt to run it as a product to generate revenue will lose the most important factor - user experience.
