It’s a humbling and amazing thing to work on Windows, which is used
 by over 1.5 billion people in every country of the world. From kids 
playing with computers for the first time, to writers and journalists, 
to engineers, to gamers, to CEOs, at some point Windows has empowered 
all of us.

In the Windows team, we’re proud of this – but we also know that the 
world today is very different from the one in which Windows grew up. 
Today, devices outnumber people. Connectivity is like oxygen. The 
tension between the desire for agility versus stability poses a huge 
challenge for IT Pros. Experiences – no matter what device you’re on – 
just need to work. The only thing that hasn’t really changed is the 
situation for developers – still too much to do, and not enough time.

One way to look at it is that Windows is at a threshold :-).
 It’s time for a new Windows. This new Windows must be built from the 
ground-up for a mobile-first, cloud-first world. This new Windows must 
help our customers be productive in both their digital work and their 
digital life. This new Windows must empower people and organizations to 
do great things.

That new Windows is Windows 10.

Windows 10 represents the first step of a whole new generation of 
Windows. Windows 10 unlocks new experiences for customers to work, play 
and connect. Windows 10 embodies what our customers (both consumers and 
enterprises) demand and what we will deliver.

Windows 10 will run across an incredibly broad set of devices – from 
the Internet of Things, to servers in enterprise datacenters worldwide. 
Some of these devices have 4 inch screens – some have 80 inch screens – 
and some don’t have screens at all. Some of these devices you hold in 
your hand, others are ten feet away. Some of these devices you primarily
 use touch/pen, others mouse/keyboard, others controller/gesture – and 
some devices can switch between input types.

We’re not talking about one UI to rule them all – we’re talking about
 one product family, with a tailored experience for each device.

And across this breadth of devices, we are delivering one application
 platform for our developers. Whether you’re building a game or a line 
of business application, there will be one way to write a universal app 
that targets the entire family. There will be one store, one way for 
applications to be discovered, purchased and updated across all of these
 devices.

Windows 10 will deliver the right experience on the right device at 
the right time. It will be our most comprehensive platform ever.

Now, during the design of a new Windows, we spend time with many 
diverse customers. One of the most important of these customers is the 
enterprise. In the past year I’ve talked to dozens of enterprise 
customers and listened to how they are using and deploying Windows, and 
what they need from us.

These customers are betting their businesses on Windows – in the 
first half of this year, shipments of enterprise PCs grew 14%. In that 
same time period, shipments of Windows enterprise tablets grew 33%.

These customers have a need to evaluate Windows early, so we are 
starting our dialog with them today. For more details about what Windows
 10 will have for these customers, <a href="http://blogs.windows.com/business/2014/09/30/introducing-windows-10-for-business/">check out this blog post on the Windows for your Business blog</a>.

Tomorrow, we are excited to announce the <a href="http://preview.windows.com/">Windows Insider Program,</a>
 where PC experts and IT Pros can get access to a technical preview of 
Windows 10 for desktops and laptops. Soon after, we’ll also be releasing
 technical previews of Windows Server and our management tools.

With the Insider program, we’re inviting our most enthusiastic 
Windows customers to shape Windows 10 with us. We know they’re a vocal 
bunch – and we’re looking forward to hearing from them.

The Windows Insider Program is intended for PC experts and IT pros 
who are comfortable using pre-release software with variable quality. 
Insiders will receive a steady stream of early builds from us with the 
latest features we’re experimenting with.

This week’s announcements are just the first chapter of our 
conversation with customers about Windows 10 – with a focus on 
enterprise features (because enterprises have a need to evaluate 
software early on) and the desktop/laptop experiences. Early in 2015 
we’ll introduce the consumer chapter and talk much more about other 
device types and more consumer features. We’ll then continue the 
conversation with the developer chapter at our Build conference, and 
later in the year we’ll release Windows 10 and look forward to some 
amazing new devices.

Today was an important beginning for our customers and partners as we
 embark on the Windows 10 journey together. I encourage everyone reading
 this to sign up for the <a href="http://preview.windows.com/">Windows Insider Program</a>,
 download the technical preview, and let us know what you think. Check 
here tomorrow for specific details – but in the meantime, here’s a peek 
at some of the new features you can test drive once you become an 
Insider:

Start menu:  
The familiar Start menu is back, but it brings with it a new customizable space for your favorite apps and Live Tiles.

Everything runs in a window:  
 Apps from the Windows 
Store now open in the same format that desktop apps do and can be 
resized and moved around, and have title bars at the top allowing for 
maximize, minimize, and close with a click.

Snap enhancements: You can now have four apps 
snapped on the same screen with a new quadrant layout. Windows will also
 show other apps and programs running for additional snapping and even 
make smart suggestions on filling available screen space with other open
 apps.

New task view button:  
 There’s a new task-view button
 on the taskbar for quick switching between open files and quick access 
to any desktops you create.

Multiple desktops:  
 Create desktops for different 
purposes and projects and switch between these desktops easily and pick 
up where you left off on each desktop.

Find files faster: 
 File Explorer now displays your recent files and frequently visited folders making for finding files you’ve worked on is easier.

Watch the below video from Joe Belfiore to see many of these features
 in action. Immediately you’ll see how Windows 10 carries forward a 
sense of familiarity, while providing new capabilities to help you way 
the work you want to and be more productive.

Today was an important beginning for our customers and partners as we
 embark on the Windows 10 journey together. While it’s early and things 
are bound to change as we collaborate together in the months ahead, this
 should give a strong sense of where we’re going not only with the 
desktop experience, but in general overall. We’re looking forward to 
getting your feedback on Windows 10, as well as continuing this 
conversation in the weeks and months to come.
