Microsoft Rolls Out Windows 10 Operating System
WASHINGTON: Microsoft will start rolling out its new operating system Windows 10 around the world, including India, with a host of new features as the longtime leader in PC software tries to lure back consumers who gave up on Windows for mobile devices.
Armed with new innovative features like Cortana, an Xbox app and Microsoft Edge, the long-awaited Windows 10 would be available to computers and tablets in 190 nations.
India, a critical market for Microsoft, will be among the 13 countries where the technology giant will host mega events.
The technology giant's India-born CEO Satya Nadella will have the Windows 10 launch party in Kenya.
"Arrived in Kenya to celebrate @Windows 10 launch with fans & learn how tech is #empowering Kenyan people & orgs," he wrote in Twitter.
It is being described as one of the biggest launches in the company's history.
"A new era of Windows starts today. From the beginning, Windows 10 has been unique -- built with feedback from over 5 million fans, delivered as a service and offered as a free upgrade," said Terry Myerson, executive vice president, Windows and Devices Group, at Microsoft.
