Rob Tidrow, Jim Boyce, Jeffrey R. Shapiro · 2017
This chapter first focuses on what is new in Windows 10, compared to previous editions of Windows (Windows 7 and Windows 8.x). Windows 10 is available for a variety of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Windows 10 IoT Core supports universal apps and drivers, the same development tools as for all Windows 10 devices, and the key features that Windows 10 provides on other platforms, such as security, update capability, and Windows apps. HoloLens is a perfect example of Windows 10 IoT in action. Windows 10 enables users to play Xbox games on the Windows 10 PCs and tablets. Windows 10 ships with a new browser named Microsoft Edge. Some of the key goals of the Edge development team were to streamline the interface, integrate Cortana for faster search and better discoverability, optimize browsing across multiple platforms, provide a great experience on touch devices, and add features such as the capability to annotate web pages.
