WINDOWS 10 FREE ANNIVERSARY UPDATE

Windows has the best Graphical User Interface... Right? 
Microsoft rolls out its Windows 10
Anniversary Update today Tuesday 2nd August 2016.
The free update includes;
- Two security innovations for individual customers:
- Windows
Hello for apps and websites;
- And Windows
Defender.
Enterprises will get Windows Defender Advanced
Threat Protection, which detects, investigates
and responds to advanced malicious attacks on
networks; and Windows Information Protection(WIP), previously known as "enterprise data
protection."

Microsoft "has done a very creditable and
admirable job of paying attention to security --
*secure by design.
*secure by default.
*secure in implementation, and *secure in storage.

The Anniversary Update extends the Windows
Hello biometric authentication feature in the
browser using FIDO, and enables password-protected access to apps such as Dropbox.
And offers smartphone
syncing using the Cortana apps on iOS, Android
and Windows 10 Mobile.
Windows Ink, which lets users perform a number
of tasks with a digital pen, is included in the
update.
Key apps have Ink-specific features.
With the update, the Cortana personal digital
assistant appears above the lockscreen, so it
can be used without having to unlock the device.
The Microsoft Edge browser includes more
power-saving improvements; various Edge
Extensions such as Pinterest's "Pin It" button
and AdBlock; and improved visual presentation of
Web pages in high contrast mode. The update
also streamlines completion of online forms.
Gamers will be able to stay connected with
friends on Xbox Live and enjoy more games
across their devices with the Anniversary
Update. They'll be able to use Cortana
commands on Xbox One, and be able to select
any supported language regardless of their
location.
Finally, the Anniversary Update will simplify PC
deployment, so teachers can set up devices
without requiring dedicated IT support. Schools
with IT support can set up shared devices in
bulk, rapidly using the updated Windows Imaging
and Configuration Designer tool...
