Windows 10: Microsoft’s project Pegasus could bring a new Windows 10 interface

WinLatest · Oct 10, 2019

In addition to hardware, Microsoft’s Surface event was also about software and the company unveiled a new version of Windows 10 for an entirely new category of computing devices. Called Windows 10X, this new OS is being officially developed for dual-screen and foldable devices.

According to people familiar with the development, Windows 10X (Windows Core OS) as a whole is not just for dual-screen and foldable devices. Windows 10X uses an adaptive shell codenamed Santorini and same shell be will be used across different form factors.

HoloLens 2 – Oasis Shell.

Surface Hub 2X – Aruba Shell

Windows 10X – Santorini, an adaptive shell for dual-screen, foldable, laptop, and tablet.

Microsoft is working on a new project codenamed Pegasus to bring Windows 10X’s unique user interface to traditional laptop form factors and different styles of laptops or tablets.

With Project Pegasus, Microsoft could be rebuilding the desktop experience with modern code and the same Windows 10X experience will be tailored for traditional form factors.

In the above-featured image, you can see a concept of the current Windows 10X UI that the firm is testing for traditional laptops and 2-in-1s. Windows 10X or Project Pegasus is not supposed to replace the current Windows 10 experience and the user interface will ship on new devices.

Microsoft invites you to participate in Pegasus II IoT experiment

When you dream of state-of-the-art, real-time Internet of Things (IoT), what do you imagine? Do you imagine open and distributed systems where system components and subsystems communicate without physical boundaries to form a holistic system that can achieve a specific goal? Do you imagine convergence between digital and physical systems so that the combined system is agnostic about its components—whether digital or physical? Or, perhaps real-time IoT system actors one-day processing discrete information in the context that is observed so that outputs can be produced? (A theory consistent with our understanding of theories and the applied mathematics of systems.)

A unique user experience from the edge of space
If you have imagined any of these possibilities, we invite you to participate in the experiment of Pegasus II, slated for launch the week of February 22, 2016. Born from multi-year research findings that resulted in creating open and complex systems with real-time communications, you’ll be part of exploring a system that could span geographical and physical boundaries and leverage powerful digital processors. You will explore a new generation of systems with new capability to bridge the digital and physical worlds. Specifically, you’ll:

View real-time telemetry

Communicate to spacecraft during flight

Receive text messages from the craft as it reaches milestones

Witness the live launch and view flight video (eye-in-the-sky)

Want to learn how? Simply, sign up for text message flight notifications and Pegasus II will text your phone when it begins its ascent. You can then view live video and telemetry at the research team’s website, and you can download the mobile applications to your phone by searching for “Pegasus Mission.” Or, follow on Twitter @PegasusMission.

Background of Pegasus II experiment
The advent of the Pegasus II experiment is based on the earlier Pegasus I experiment created from Microsoft Research Project Orleans. Orleans began with a team of researchers aiming to explore possibilities and the challenge of simplifying and generalizing communications between heterogeneous and fluid system actors. In this experiment, researches explored whether or not they could produce reliable, low latency, linearly scalable, high throughput, and economical operable solutions.

Coupled with a communications gateway in the Microsoft Cloud, the research team’s Orleans configuration resulted in a few attempts to overcome challenges and become experiential. When their solution enabled the right information to get to the right place at the right time and had the desired latency, throughput, scale, and economic characteristics necessary, the team’s tasks quickly turned to how to demonstrate these capabilities in new and interesting ways.

Thus, through the first Pegasus Mission experiment, the team was able to show real-time Microsoft Azure IoT capabilities including Azure IoT services such as Azure Stream Analytics. The unique experiment in High Altitude Science featured Pegasus 1, a meteorological balloon that carried a payload packed with sensors, radios and video to an altitude of 100,000 feet. Similar to Pegasus II, the public was able to interface with the craft during flight through a website or mobile apps. Those who participated discovered that they could receive atmospheric information and also communicate with the craft during flight and in real-time.

Promise Announces Pegasus J2 Is World's Fastest Thunderbolt Storage for Windows

PROMISE Technology Inc., a leader in providing high-performance storage solutions for the rich media market and the leader in designing cutting-edge Thunderbolt enabled devices, is proud to announce creative professionals and power users on PCs can now leverage the unparalleled performance of the award-winning Pegasus J2 to power them through their creative projects. The ultra-portable PROMISE Pegasus J2, one of the first storage devices with Thunderbolt technology to be certified for PC by Intel Corporation, can deliver up to 750 MB/s of performance, yet it's pocket-sized, enabling users to harness high bandwidth to transfer, playback, or edit media directly from the Pegasus J2 from anywhere.

The mission of Thunderbolt certification for PC is to extend the incredible Pegasus and Thunderbolt experience to PC users with quality products that ensure compatibility and stability. As a result, creative professionals and power users on PCs will be able to take advantage of incredible performance that was designed to dramatically accelerate their workflow while delivering amazing flexibility.

"PROMISE is very excited to bring the power of Pegasus to Windows," said James Lee, CEO, PROMISE Technology. "Being one of the first storage solutions to receive Thunderbolt certification for PC, in addition to the fastest, is a testament to the amazing design and performance of the Pegasus J2. Creative professionals and power users on Windows will be blown away by the amazing speeds and truly go-anywhere portability they can now enjoy with the Pegasus J2 and a Thunderbolt enabled PC."

"Thunderbolt technology delivers unprecedented performance and simplicity to the Windows ecosystem," said Jason Ziller, Intel's Director of Thunderbolt marketing. "The PROMISE Pegasus J2 with Thunderbolt technology is an excellent example of a solution that is expanding what is possible for media professionals and demanding PC users."

Microsoft Selects Dolby Audio for Windows 10

it would've been great if microsoft added HEVC decoders, LAV filters along with other codecs with Windows 10, and developing WMP to be better than VLC, KMPlayer and such sorts of media players.

Nevertheless, this is good step for microsoft, by far.
