Windows 10 Milestone, SharePoint Server 2016 Launches: Microsoft Roundup

Microsoft also sparked controversy with a change to Windows 10 Pro that removes the ability for IT admins to block user access to the Windows Store and thus prevent them from installing apps.

Microsoft delivered something pretty special in Windows XP – which still boasts millions of users today – but it followed that up with the disaster that was Windows Vista. According to Microsoft, Windows 10 has 300 million users worldwide and the company has planned surprises for its users on occasion of upcoming anniversary. The license to upgrade to Windows 10 will be available approximately 8000 although the OS will be sent with new devices. Microsoft published a Windows 10 feature roadmap last month, and it’s now been updated with confirmation that extensions support is coming to Edge on Windows 10 Mobile.

Previously, IT admins that manage computers running Windows 10 Pro could disable Windows Store through the Group Policy settings.

For anyone using the Current Branch release of Windows 10, the new capabilities aren’t available. It’s therefore important that Windows 10 users are aware of the fact that links opened in apps are potentially unsafe.

Further good news too. Administrators on Windows 10’s Enterprise and Education editions still have working “Turn Off Store” options that they can toggle to block or allow access to the Windows Store.

If developers can’t make money putting apps in the store, they’ll be less likely to climb on board with UWP, which reaches not only Windows 10 PCs, but also tablets, phones, the Xbox One and the Microsoft HoloLens.

At the point when Microsoft propelled Windows 10 the previous summer, it made an offer that a huge number of Windows users couldn’t miss upgrading from Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 inside the principal year and it will be free.

I am going to do this math based on averages but I am going to only use the last four sets of momentum numbers and not the big bump of installs that happened in the first 30 days after Windows 10 was released.

At the moment, the differences in the back end of these services mean, for example, Mac Outlook users cannot create shared calendars whereas Windows users can.
