Personally i like all operating system either Linux, mac or windows. As I check the new features of windows 10, i fell that many changes in these features come from other operating systems like Linux/Mac systems. This thing is really good because this is welcome for Linux/mac users.

These changes are really help for new and also current users of windows operating system. Some of best new windows 10 features are listed below. So, let’s read them.

Return of the Start menu

Task View

Windows 10 best new feature is Task View for multiple desktops. Task view is a virtual desktop technology. This feature is not new for those who are pretty familiar with Linux/mac operating system. But this thing is definitely new for windows users. The idea behind this feature is to increase the number of desktops. For example we have only one desktop in windows 7 or 8. We open all apps (either desktop or universal apps) on that single desktop. Now in windows 10 you can open more than one desktop and can open different apps on different desktop.

• The apps which are opened on other desktops are having a thin line below them in the task bar.

Continuum

And when you detach them than windows 10 automatically change the environment like start button shift to tablet start button. At that time UI elements become bigger to allow you to easily navigate with finger on tablet screen. For more understanding about this feature watch below video.
