Windows 10 is the new generations of windows build for the new era of personal computers for variety of devices, which would open up an altogether “new vista” of internet user experience for people across the globe, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said today.
Microsoft “Edge” is the new web browser announced by the company for Windows 10, which its exponents claimed would give a new experience to millions of internet users.
“I am really excited about where we are in this journey,” Indian-American Nadella told the Microsoft developers community at the company’s flagship annual event Build 2015 as his team unveiled details of the Windows 10, which is being highly anticipated by people.
“Windows 10 is a new generation of windows. It is built for new era of personal computers. It is built for variety of devices. It’s also build with a foundation of trust. It’s a very different windows in terms of how we deliver, how we keep it alive. It’s one unified store,” Nadella said in his key note address to the Build 2015 event, being attended by developers from across the world.
Terry Myerson, Microsoft’s Executive VP, Operating Systems said with Windows 10 the company is targeting the broadest device ever.
“We are talking about one platform, wherein a single app can run across all devices. Windows is the only echo system wherein you get to develop an app across all the systems,” he said.
Windows 10, after it is launched, he said, would be free for upgrade. Within two-three years of Windows 10 release, there would be one billion devices running Windows 10.
This would make Windows 10 much ahead of its other competitors from Apple and Google operating systems.
In his address, Nadella said Microsoft was founded by two developers some 40 years ago with the bold ambition to empower other developers to build new and great things.
“In the 40 years, a lot of devices have come and gone. But what has remained constant is the ethos is that we are a developer company and a platform company first,” he said.
Facing challenges from companies like Google and Apple, Nadella promised to take Microsoft to a new level by launching new products, adding more features to the existing products and making it available across all kinds of devices.
“We’re going to want all developers exploit and take advantage of the platform of the conference,” he said.
“When we talk about empowering every person it starts with empowering every developer on the planet,” he added.
He also related his personal stories of ordinary people to narrate his ideas and vision of the company.

Virus-based sensors find superbugs in minutes, may lead to safer surfaces

Viruses usually have to be rendered inert to work in humanity's favor, as anyone who has received a flu shot can attest. Auburn University has bucked that trend by discovering a way to put active viruses to work in not only diagnosing sickness, but in preventing it in the first place. It's using bacteria-hating (and thankfully harmless) viruses as biosensors to quickly identify superbugs, or antibiotic-resistant bacteria that can sometimes prove fatal. As the viruses change color once they've reached impervious bacterial strains, in this case variants on Staphylococcus, they can reveal superbugs within 10 to 12 minutes -- a potentially lifesaving interval when current purification-driven methods can take hours. Auburn would like to eventually use what it has learned to develop more effective antibacterial glass and similar surfaces. If successfully put into practice, either breakthrough could mitigate what's already a major medical crisis. [Image credit: Bob Blaylo

Just as we were settling down to another calm and banterful Engadget Mobile Podcast, our special guest had to go and throw us some hard news. Yup, and rather than making you sit through the entire two-hour recording (pleasant as that would be), we're just going to come right out with it: Nicole Scott from netbooknews.com has it on good authority that the Asus Padfone will be coming out at MWC 2012 in February. What's more, it won't be powered by a Qualcomm Krait S4 as suggested by that strange GLBenchmark we saw earlier -- it will in fact sport a Tegra 3, just like its highly capable big bro the Transformer Prime . See? That's the kind of juicy reward our podcast listeners get for tuning in each week. Asus Padfone with Tegra 3 coming in early 2012 originally appeared on Engadget on Mon, 05 Dec 2011 07:05:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds .

This Sunday is Mother’s Day, which means it’s time to think about which techie products are suited for your own mother, the moms in the office, extended family, or your wife. Fortunately, there are quite a few new gadgets for 2015 suited for the big day. There’s a digital picture frame that lets you load through a website. There’s even a clock radio that has a trendy flower-print design. 1.  LivingPlug INLET ($25) These colorful wall outlet covers serve multiple purposes. They are safer for kids, since the plugs are located below the faceplate. You can design your own (think: pictures of the kids). One outlet turns into three plugs and you can charge a phone or tablet using USB. 2.  Nixplay Cloud Frame ($100) This low-cost digital frame connects to the cloud so the kids (or grandkids) can stream photos from anywhere in the world. It connects to Facebook so you can add photos that way using a Web app or you can load pictures onto a local camera card. The frame powers down and
