Part 2 in Our Look into Windows 10
Some people feel that the Windows 8 user interface focused too much on tablet users, and so traditional PC and laptop users felt left behind with the new OS. Windows 10 does a better job in unifying the user experience across platforms.
- Virtual Desktops - while the concept isn't new, it is new to have this functionality built right into Windows. And while so many people these days have at least two monitors, it's easier to set up than ever before.
- Organizing Windows - it's also quite easy to organize your windows side-by-side. Simply drag a window to the edge, and it will snap in place. Click on a preview of another app, and it will snap in to fill the second half of your space.
- Universal Apps - thankfully now all apps work in desktop and tablet mode, eliminating the Windows 8 problem where there were two versions of some apps installed.
- File Explorer now lets you choose between showing your most recent files by default or going back to the classic way of showing 'My Computer.'
- Power users will appreciate that standard copy-and-paste keyboard shortcuts will work with Command Prompt as well as Ctrl/Shift-based character selection.
Now Let's Talk Security ...
There has been a bit of buzz about Windows Hello, which supports face and fingerprint recognition. However, there are two additional security features in Windows 10 that every business owner needs to understand.
Find out why Windows 10 may be the most secure Windows yet - and if it is the right choice for your business.

Surface Pro 4
Even though you still have to purchase the keyboard separately, the Surface Pro 4 is quite possibly the best in its class. This new model features a larger screen with higher resolution yet a slightly slimmer body than the Pro 3. Beyond some pen and keyboard cover improvements, this is one of the first mobile systems that includes Intel's latest processors for solid performance.
Surface Book
Even though the Surface Pro 4 is really the tablet that can replace your laptop, perhaps you want even more power. Try the new Surface Book. The 13.5-inch screen has a higher resolution than the MacBook Pro. CNN also reports that it's lighter, faster and has a better graphics processor too. It features a unique hinge that rolls out when you lift up the screen, and like the Pro line, it can detach from the keyboard to be quite a powerful tablet.
