Do you still use a Windows device? I'm typing this on my Windows 7 laptop at work. I have a Windows 8.1 tablet in my bag I was using in a meeting earlier today. I just rebuilt my HTPC at home, connected to my new Ultra HD television, and am running Windows 7 on it for now. I also have a Nexus 7, an iPad Air, and two iPhones running in my house. I'm very interested in Windows and likely you are as well.
So what is Windows 10?
Here is an excellent piece from TheNextWeb that will tell you the major features of this new version of the flagship OS out of Redmond, WA:

Windows Holographic? That isn't science fiction? Here is a hands-on with the new HoloLens device from the folks at Wired.com. Augmented reality. Wow.

Does this version of Windows solve all of the problems of Windows 8? Looks like they got a lot right with this release. I'm happy to see it will be a free upgrade.
So how do they expect me to use this version of Windows in my living room?
Happy Reading,

**UPDATE** I love this headline from ArsTechnica:

**UPDATE #2** Biggest improvement may be the start screen. I think this could actually work:
