Short analysis on Windows 10 Mobile's factual debut



 
Microsoft yesterday released the Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview build 10586 in the fast ring to the Windows Insider program. One can say that the date represents a milestone in the history of the operating system for several reasons. Also yesterday the first consumers of Windows 10 Mobile Lumias 950 worldwide released their first impressions on the new flagship of the Redmond giant. At the same time, the Windows Insiders can enjoy today the same build embedded in Lumias 950 thanks to the 10586 Insider Preview, which is great news.

Those who follow the life cycle of the services offered by Microsoft believe that the new applications and the company's technologies are unique and indispensable in its market. Witness the Windows 10 Mobile itself.

The Windows 10 Mobile debuted yesterday de facto with the delivery of the first Lumias 950. It should be noted as well, that Microsoft's objective in relation to the mobile operating system is intangible - a better definition lacked - , because the way the system hit the shelves was unprecedented. Windows Insider program, already old acquaintance, ditto for originality.

We all know that Windows 10 for PCs is free for one year in order to conquer more space in the mobile segment, another proof of the intangibility of the move.

Microsoft is working hard in the development of our new favorite OS iteration. Who did not notice? How about the flood of application updates that occurred recently? The section of pros and cons of 10586 has virtually no topics against it! So it was with the RTM build for PCs, broadly well accepted.

Windows 8 as well as the WP 8.1, have not gone unnoticed. The step was essential to achieve what is most modern in functional terms and design. The platform is irresistible. With 90% of the worldwide market share of PCs potentially sharing the same basis of its code in Windows smartphones, Microsoft innovates again.

In a competitive market, initially racing and relying on their Pocket PCs, Windows Mobile, Windows Phones and now Windows 10 Mobile, Microsoft excels demonstrating in practice its commitment to the search for visibility. Companies, people or governments, everyone is wondering: - what's next, giant? Hololens, IoT, Azure, Office ... There are great options.

And much has been speculated about the implementation of PC architecture in Windows phones. Well, the robustness and efficiency of ARM processors are the best option for Microsoft. The decision on the subject has been taken some time ago, I'm afraid.

I conclude writing about my medium-term vision. I believe that we are entering now the final straight towards growth. The Windows 10 will be developed for 3 years. No wonder, is considered the "final" version of Windows (SaaS). It will be Microsoft's flagship for 3 years. I sincerely believe that in a year and a half we will see the mobile platform giving a strong positive shift in acceptability and usefulness.

Wishing the best possible journey through this fantastic universe, which is reading articles on Windows phones, cheers!
