On Wednesday, January 21st – we will be holding an event here on Microsoft’s Redmond campus where we will talk about the next chapter of Windows 10. You’ll hear directly from senior leaders from the Operating Systems Group including Terry Myerson, Joe Belfiore and Phil Spencer who will talk about the Windows 10 consumer experience – continuing the story we began in September. You’ll also hear from our CEO Satya Nadella as well. We’re going to live webcast the event so mark your calendars! As we get closer to the event in January, watch for another blog post from me on where to tune-in and watch the live webcast. As you can imagine, we’re pretty stoked to show you what’s next for Windows 10!

To catch users of Windows 7,Windows 10 must support to WDDM 1.1
To catch users of Windows 7,Windows 10 must support to WDDM 1.1 .Because Windows 7 mostly use in Offices & other places like that. They never add separate graphic adapters to their PCs. Therefore many PCs in that places don’t to WDDM 1.3 .
Things need to be added, improved, modifying or even be developed in any update or upcoming version of Windows Phone – in my opinion – are as follows :
System Improvements :
1- Windows Phone must include a System , folder & files Management app as embedded app rather than an external or independent limited functions app . Also files Explorer or Files Management app should handle all files ( whatever it was ) that are being transfered through Bluetooth and shows save location on the mobile .
2- Install applications from external memory ( SD Card ) without needing to Internet connection , as well as doing search in the phone using Bing search button without need for an Internet connection .
3- Allow phone book contacts linking to any of Social or communication , dialing or calling apps , such as Line , Telegram , KakaoTalk & WhatsApp as an example and not being limited to Skype, Facebook or Linkedin only .
4- Windows Phone must support running Adobe flash files ( swf & flv ) , Animated GIFs & Java files to be run & play on all WP8 devices .
5- Fix consuming huge amounts of data on memory by installed apps , the matter that often not found on a PC! .
6 – one of many defects / faults / shortcomings in WP 8.1 is that user can’t add any apps by himself to run within apps for video calls that exist in phone settings , nor adding apps in notifications action center , or apps that its status can be appear on lock screen , unlike ( rather than ) predefined apps by system itself , as well as , there is no ( choice / function / option ) to add an application that can be used to run different function , such as selecting Adobe photoshop Express to be within apps that can run picture files captured .
7- There is no data connection switching & data speed connection type ( 4,3,2 G ) switching function in WP 8.1 notifications + actions center as well as Alarms function .
8- Support memory Card readers and flash USB through mobile’s micro USB .
9- improving Device hub function which display all connecting devices , but doesn’t allow access to nor control or operate it .
10- Support recognize handwriting that support Arabic language & applications that support Arabic handwriting
11 – there are duplicated features in its functions such as backup & sync my settings , Advertising id & IE privacy protection , NOKIA account & email + accounts , Network + & phone settings , about & extras + info , display & brightness function , rate us & feedback function .
12- Enhancing Backup function for SMS Messaging .
13- one of many defects / faults / shortcomings is that when someone want to add a contact phone number , WP 8.1 doesn’t let you select your save place or method , whether it was on sim card , SD card , phone memory or your Microsoft account , unfortunately WP save it directly only on your MS account by default .
—————————————-
Applications improvements :
1- Much bigger support for major & significant applications in all areas and categories .
2- Improving & Enhancing Office document working experience & make preloaded or saved html browsed files can be readable easily .
Office Mobile that’s run on WP is extremely primitive , unlike Android office suite Kingsoft Office that include most of desktop office suite features & WP 8.1 Office app still run with a primitive edition that was running on Symbian powered NOKIA mobiles in the early second millennium !
3- Must support & providing with Google apps & services , such as : Gmail , Google Drive , Translate , Maps , Earth , Youtube , Books , Google Chrome , Cloud Print , Voice , Wallet , Sites , Scholar , Panoramio .
4- Develop & improve group video calls apps that can send and share various file types plus adding simultaneous group sharing or common group action / work for the same file in the same moment feature. that means you can open a video file for watching while all participants can watch it playing in the same time . Also we can open an app like papyrus and all what we do writing in is shown for all participants in the same time and also they can do writing in and save what they have done. Also, when playing audio file, all participants can listen to it at the same time ( this is completely different from upload and sharing feature and may looks like web conferencing ).
5- Improving & Enhancing Remote Access apps & technologies for Devices & Systems Administration .
———————————————————————–
Browser improvements :
1- Adding Save Page as feature for html webpages that have been saved through G.Chrome in Windows 7 or have been browsed through IE 11 on WP 8.1 .
2- an important functions in IE doesn’t exist or discarded , such as home page button & Navigation buttons ( back & forward ) .
——————————————————–
Store Improvements :
1- resolve problem of store restricted download for certain apps that are dedicated to particular region .
2- Install applications from external memory ( SD Card ) without needing to Internet connection .
————————————————————
Maps Improvements :
Enhancing maps applications by adding ability to add places and landmarks to the map by the user , for example when I go for a trip or a picnic , I pass with someplace or landmark , such as a shopping mall , pharmacy or bookshop , … etc where I like to add and save such this location data ( Name , info & details ) on map , then find it later through search function on this app like here maps or here drive .
————————————————-
Wallet Improvements :
WP 8.1 Wallet should be improved to support and accept shop , buy from and payment for various websites and online stores , such as ebay , Amazon & Ali express and not being limited to buy from and pay for Microsoft stores only .
Also , WP 8.1 Wallet became so primitive , because it is not ordered and categorized like previous WP version ( 8 ) , where you can name every card , set its details & infos and let ( allow ) you add various types of payment cards , such as : debit cads , offers : discounts coupons , subscriptions , memberships , prepaid cards , bank accounts ( your online mobile banking service data ) & E- payment accounts like Paypal rather than improve it to accept and support Mastercard paypass , electronic bill payment ( gas, electricity , water , telephone , any purchases ) like a POS machine , however it isn’t like this in recent version of WP ( 8.1 ) . All the matter that Wallet takes or sync your raw , primary and so basic data as it is from your account on Microsoft ! and don’t let you make any additions , modification or any specific customization .
—————————————————————————————-
Display & lock screen Improvements :
1- Make alerts & notifications on lock screen are interactive .
2- there is no news reader function / feature on lock screen like rss feeds .
3- Support wireless screen content sharing : Clone View , Miracast , WiDi ( WiFi Display ) , screen mirroring on large displays for all WP8.1 devices .
——————————————————–
Print & printing improvements :
Support Wireless & Network printing for Office , Pdf , html & picture files or from any readable applications ( such as : news apps , health & fitness apps , some business apps , Education & books + reference apps ) .
———————————————————-
Networks & Connection Improvements:
1- Expand WiFi , Bluetooth profiles & other wireless connecting technologies uses and functionality to include other technologies unlike ( rather than being limited to ) Bluetooth & WiFi , such as : WiFi direct , WiDi , Miracast , …etc .
2- Adding Wi-Fi direct feature for all WP devices to send any files through a Wi-Fi Connection directly.
3- Support wireless connecting to various devices , networking with & access to such as PCs & Printers for files sharing or exchanging , management.
————————————————————-
Hardware improvements :
1- Support recognize handwriting that support Arabic language & applications that support Arabic handwriting.
2- Support memory Card readers and flash USB through mobile’s micro USB .
———————————–
Security & Protection Improvements :
improve device security and protection against stealing , like making an app for detect the person who enter invalid lock key to open the device .

(also you might want to make it so people can edit previous comments on here seems kinda dumb you cant)
Where I can watch the live stream???
Where can I see the live webcast
live webcast here http://news.microsoft.com/windows10story/
I’m trying to watch your live stream for Windows 10, but it has been stopping to buffer and now it is not working at all. I have high-speed internet, so I can handle high-definition streams with no problem. Other Microsoft presentations have not been an issue.
It is working again. I have had to click the “go live” button in the lower right a few times.
Take that back. There are still interruptions.
Some interruptions are several minutes in length. This is frustrating to watch.
