Windows 10 focuses on Cortana and Edge in first big update
Microsoft is rollingout the first major update to Windows 10 for tablets and PCs. The release focuses on improvements to Cortana, Edge and performance. The personal assistant will now track your event and movie tickets, and even monitor travel time and give you a heads up when you should leave. The update also allows you to book an Uber, in case you need a ride to the theater. And for our international friends, Cortana is finally landing in Japan, Australia, Canada and India.
Edge has received some new features including tab previews, which can be accessed by hovering over the tabs to see what content is on the webpage without having to open it. The browser will also sync your Favorites and Reading list across all of your devices. Microsoft has also introduced coupon alerts, which means you'll get notifications of sales and discounts at big-ticket companies like Macy's and Best Buy among many others (but thankfully, these can be turned off altogether). The cherry on the cake is that Windows 10 is also going to rollout for Xbox One today with select phones receiving the operating system in the near future.
