1. One Operating System for All Devices: Windows 10

Microsoft Windows 10 is a unique and single operating system that works on all your devices, ranging from mobile phones, personal computers, tablets, to the internet of things.

Unlike Apple’s operating systems that is different for different platform, OS X for desktop computers and iOS for mobile devices, which limit software developers from developing common applications for both the platforms.

Such a revolution is brought with keeping in mind the future advancements in the technology, where people are more reliant on the digital devices.

2. Cortana — Most Intelligent Digital Assistant

Microsoft Windows 10 presents you a smart, yet organized digital assistant Cortana, which debuted with huge success on Windows Phone 8.1.

Cortana on Windows 10 does a lot more than just poke through your local documents. She can:

• Remember things on your behalf (once you set a reminder though)
• Manage your personal details and helps you provide things which interests you
• Makes you happy by taking a note of your details and how you use your gadget.
• Surfacing News she thinks will appeal to you, and a whole lot more.

Cortana is powered by Bing and Microsoft’s machine learning in the cloud, and she does all the tasks by taking feeds from you either in a form of your voice or textual form.

Cortana was earlier available only to the Windows 8.1 phone users, but with the release of Windows 10, now it is available on all the devices.

Cortana poses as a rival to Google Now and Siri, which are the intelligent digital assistants of Google’s Android and Apple’s iOS operating systems respectively.

3. Virtual desktops & Split View for Multitasking

Multitasking becomes more smooth with Windows 10, as it offers features like Snap assist and Task view where one can set up as many "desktops" as you like, each with different applications open, and switch between them on the fly.

Microsoft first introduced Aero Snap in Windows 7 that lets you drag windows to left or right and quickly set up a split-screen view with two apps. Aero Snap instantly became one of the best multitasking features on Windows — and it is even better in the latest Windows 10.

Microsoft also offers multi-desktop management with Task view that allows you to switch between the already open applications on the system as well as to set up multiple desktops. This utility can be simply implemented by clicking on the icon for Task view in the taskbar.
