Windows 10: Microsoft Keeps Teasing Windows 10 Features Ahead of...

Continuum is what I am looking forward to seeing

If you have a keyboard/mouse attached it will give you the start menu design, if you have a touch only device you will get the start screen style
if you have a device with removable keyboard you get it based on if keyboard is connected or not

but what happens with touch devices that do not have a removable keyboard, what is the default as it cannot know whether you are wanting to use touch or keyboard/mouse

roll on the end of the week so hopefully this will be made clear

 

Thanks for info Edwin. So then on a non touch PC user isn't going to have an easy way to switch between the desktop and modern UI? In that case, I may just as well stay with W 8.1 Pro.

 

There would have to be a user selectable option for that. There are too many scenarios to always get it right. Plus the user needs an option to override it if they want. I don't have any touch displays but I do have a wireless keyboard with a touch pad built into it on one of my desktop PC's. Will it treat that like it was a laptop or a desktop, and does it matter. I also have a stand alone wireless touch pad on my main desktop PC, along with a wireless trackball that I use when I'm gaming.

I'm not really sure how it's all going to get implemented or what it's going to consist of! Hoping to find out in a couple days! *Wink

Here's a bit on it:

Personally for me I am hoping the Continuum full screen mode is more like the start screen in 8/8.1 than that video, I don't really like the idea of it being just a big start menu on the desktop

just looking at the items in the taskbar make it look like its not designed for touch

The important point for me though is that it can hopefully be made to look the same on all devices, so if I pick up my 8" tablet, or my Laptop, or a desktop if I get one in the future, the interface is the same on all of them

 

I think that's what they're aiming for.
The video, granted, may be a bit of a misconception. Sorry bout that.

Desktop/laptop it would be ok as it is, but a smaller size Win tablet, IMO, would not work very well with that layout

Fair enough. I guess we will just have to wait and see what things look like in the newest update.
