Steve Ballmer introduces the new WP7 phones
Still running ye'olde Windows 8.1 or Windows 7 on your PC? Well, Microsoft wants to change that. It will tolerate your disobedience, but it will gently nudge you into installing Windows 10 — and by gently, we mean tirelessly and constantly. On Thursday, the company announced a number of changes to the way upgrading to Windows 10 works. Furthermore, Windows 10 will "soon" become an "Optional Update" in Windows Update for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users. Finally, Microsoft is making some changes for users running non-Genuine (pirated) versions of Windows 7 and Windows 8.1.
At Microsoft's Surface Pro 4 event Tuesday, the company announced a new gadget: the Microsoft Display Dock. With this new device, you can use your Windows 10 phone as a PC. Plug your phone into your desktop, and use the keyboard and mouse to control your Windows 10 apps on the computer screen. Easily switch tasks, access your mail or even edit a PowerPoint on your computer screen, all while your phone is driving this whole operation.
