[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_10 Windows 10] is the current release of the Windows operating system, and the successor to Windows 8.1. It was released by Microsoft for personal computers, including home and business desktops, laptops, tablets, and home theater PCs, as well as Mobile devices, such as ARM Tablets and Phones. Windows 10 marks a shift in Microsoft's strategy by allowing iOS, Android, and Win32 applications to be compiled as WinRT applications, and by changing the Windows distribution model to what has been dubbed as "Windows as a service", with free updates that bring new features and functionality, as opposed to previous operating systems that only received major features and functionality through either service packs or paid upgrades to a newer version. It also is the first Windows to be widely available for public testing early on in the development with the ability to give feedback, helping shape Windows to best suit it's customers' needs.
