          October 1 for the Chinese people is a very big festival, it is not only the birthday of the motherland, but also the beginning of a seven-day small holiday, It is also a good time for people to go out and play. Microsoft unveiled a new generation of Windows 10 to users around the world in a October 1 1 o'clock in the morning conference. Includes the release time-related messages for Windows 10. This message instantly became Ali's biggest it news after the U.S. IPO, with Microsoft's next-generation operating system called Windows 10, unlike the "Windows TH", "Windows X", "Windows One" or "Windows 9" that were widely speculated This is a bit confusing for Microsoft, and skipping the naming of Windows 9 directly named Windows 10, which reminds me of the same operating system named 10来, which is Apple Mac OS X. Will Microsoft name "Windows 10" be followed by the Apple bar? No one knows. Because Microsoft wants the new operating system to bring a new unified experience, Windows as a "comprehensive platform", Windows 10 can be compatible with various types of devices, will run on the widest range of device types, Microsoft will provide "one" application platform to achieve the full interoperability of different devices. The launch, hosted by Microsoft's Joe Belfiore, tells us all about Windows 10, highlighting its optimizations for the enterprise environment. Instead of releasing a technical preview of the next-generation server-oriented Windows Server system, Microsoft has yet to give its official name, possibly Windows Server 2015, which Microsoft has disclosed that Windows 10 will also run on the server computer at the launch. Perhaps the name of the next-generation Windows Server System is Windows 10. This reminds me of Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 when it was published October 25, 2012 in Beijing time. So according to my projections, Windows 10 may be officially released in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Major media coverage of Windows 10, but often overlooked the strategic core of Microsoft, to build the Cloud OS and Microsoft Azure era as the core competitiveness, the release of the product, in addition to include a new Windows Server, There is also the System Center Technology Preview, which is collectively described as "the heart of the next cloud platform vision."

Some of the innovative functions are summarized as follows:

1. Infrastructure Upgrade: Hyper-V cluster feature upgrade, the next version of Windows Server makes production environments more efficient without downtime and application aborts while transforming infrastructure and mixed version support.

2. Network: A new component of the network protocol stack that provides greater flexibility for controlling virtual and physical networks. Windows Server gateway supports GRE Generic Routing encapsulation feature, IPAM supports DNS greatly enhanced, DNS server log enhancements, response management brings new policies, Windows DNS client enhances support for multiple network interfaces, and DHCP server no longer supports NAP network Access protection.

3. Storage: New synchronous storage replication features that enhance availability of critical applications and workloads, providing the smallest and largest IOPS environment for different storage needs.

4. Remote Desktop: Provides graphics acceleration support for OpenGL and OpenCL, which enhances application compatibility.

5. Identity and Access management: The new scheme reduces the frequency of administrator privilege increases, and introduces similar time-based access to login and new application publishing capabilities.

6, PowerShell 5.0: New Development class support, security enhancements. It is easier and more comprehensive to configure PowerShell in a Windows environment.

Of course, this is only a small part of Windows Server and its system management tools upgrades, and the next generation of Windows Server is in a very early stage of development, so these versions are not intended for production environments and can only be used for lab evaluations. Here you can see the official Microsoft Blog: http://blogs.technet.com/b/server-cloud/archive/2014/09/30/ An-early-look-at-the-future-of-the-datacenter-from-microsoft.aspx

The technical preview version of Windows 10 's server version (Windows Server 10) is officially open for download to MSDN subscription users. You can download the latest released Windows Server on Microsoft MSDN, but this requires a Windows ID login and a corresponding MSDN subscription level. Windows Server Technology Preview provides ISO and VHD two ways to download Windows Server Technology Preview and System Center without entering a passkey.

Here is a download test provided by Microsoft on the MSDN official website (English, 64-bit):

In addition to this, the version of Windows Server Technical Preview is also available in Microsoft Azure, and users with Microsoft Azure accounts can experience Windows Server 10 in the public cloud. It is important to note that the Chinese version of Microsoft Azure, currently operated by the century Internet, does not offer the Windows Server Technical Preview version of the experience.

Next experience the installation, Microsoft since the use of a "mirror"-based installation in Windows Vista, whether Windows or Windows Server installation boot mode has not changed, this time Windows Server 10 is the same, But in the installation process still found some differences in the details.

In the Install Windows installation boot interface, in the Windows Server logo we found that Microsoft did not give Windows Server 10 or Windows Server 2015 explicit naming, to Windows Server 2012 R2 as an example, in the location of the version number, Microsoft did not write anything, but in the previous Windows Server 8 preview (the official version of Windows Server 2012) is explicitly named in the installation interface, I do not know whether in the next year's official version with the Windows 10 desktop version of the name, I personally think it is still 2015 era name named more reliable.

When the installation interface is here, you will think of the previous version of Windows Server, the version of Windows Server 2012 is divided into the standard version and the Datacenter Edition, the only difference is the number of licenses for the virtual machine, and the other is no different, There are also 2 kinds of installation methods with GUI interface and only kernel core interface. However, in the technical preview of Windows Server 10, there is no mention of what version is provided, but only 2 types of installation with GUI interface and core-only interface are available, in order to facilitate understanding of the new Windows Server 10, the installation method with GUI interface is used here.

The new Windows Server 10 is also installed with a new installation and upgrade, and as you know, the lifecycle of Windows Server 2003 will end on July 14, 2015, so Microsoft will try to get those 2003 users to the new windows Server 2015, I do not know whether Microsoft will publish a new Windows Server before the end of 2003, but the current version, it is not recommended to upgrade, because Windows Server 10 is currently a technical preview version, is not suitable for upgrading any existing server system, A technical preview that can be used only for testing and new features can also be used to spit out slots.

At this point, the installation process for Windows Server 10 is all over. The system takes up less than 10GB compared to the previous generation of Windows server,windows Server 10 installation. In fact, whether you are installing Windows 10 or Windows Server 10, I believe that the first impression is the flat icon design and the return of the Start menu, seemingly flat design is the current trend in the field of it design. The Metro interface from Windows 8 lets a lot of people spit, in the 8.1 New Start menu, boot jump to the traditional desktop options and so on, still let the human heart, if you are a touch monitor or notebook, then the Metro interface will make you feel very useful, but for Windows Server server side, the classic start interface regression will give it engineers a thumbs up, you think, who will give the server a touch screen? We can compare it with Windows 10.

Windows Server 10 is the same as Windows 10, with new multi-tasking and workspace interfaces designed for both traditional and enterprise users. First, when you drag the app window, you'll see that other apps you've opened earlier appear on the left or right, and you can switch more quickly. Microsoft has added many useful new features such as multi-virtual desktops and multi-tasking windows in the Windows 10 Technology Preview, and, of course, Microsoft has introduced new keyboard shortcuts specifically for these features, enabling advanced users who prefer to use shortcut keys to quickly enable these features.

• Toggle window: ALT + TAB (unchanged, but the task switching interface has been improved);

• Adjust window: Win + ' Left/Right ' (you can also use the ' Up/down ' arrow keys to adjust the window snap position);

• Task view: Win + Tab (Release the keyboard interface does not disappear);

• Create a new Virtual desktop: Win + Ctrl + D;

• Close the current virtual desktop: Win + Ctrl + F4;

• Switch Virtual desktops: Win + Ctrl + ' Left/right '.

In addition, Microsoft has added Ctrl + V support in the command line of Windows 10 Technical Preview (PROMPT).

Currently, this version is only an early preview of Windows 10 to provide developers with an overview of the release and a quick experience. Current Technology Preview users will receive a ' upgrade to newer version ' notification by April 1 next year. There is also a description of the technical preview that will expire on April 15, 2015. "The consumer preview released next year will contain a lot of new features. In the current version, there are many new functions, such as virtual desktops and multi-task windows. Also, Microsoft has introduced new keyboard shortcuts specifically for these features. More importantly, at this stage of the technical preview version of the launch, Microsoft will collect a lot of feedback suggestions, and to make bug fixes. If you want to experience Windows 10 as soon as possible, you can choose a technical preview at this stage. If you are on the safe side, wait until early next year to select the consumer preview version. I'll explain the new features and features of Windows Server, thanks.
