There are just a few months left for Windows 10 to hit the market and the general lines of what will be Microsoft's new operating system are already emerging . A platform that comes to harmonize in a single desktop the classic interface of previous Windows and the touch options of Windows 8. One of the latest additions that we can already enjoy in its previous version is a button to easily switch between the various open applications . In addition, we can create several desktops to use different sets of applications in the same open session. We will tell you how these features work that can be very useful in the new operating system.
Without a doubt, one of the aspects that can most hinder the use of the Windows desktop is the switch between applications. Although the use of icons on the taskbar is quite intuitive, Microsoft wants to give this platform a new twist with the new task view button . This button is placed just to the right of the search box on the bottom bar. Each time we press this icon, a view will open with all the applications open in the form of boxes. A very visual way to see the content of each app and to switch between them with ease. In addition, this feature will greatly facilitate the use when we have a device with a touch screen. This tool also offers us aQuick way to close open applications, since when passing over them we will see an X in the upper right part to carry out this option.
Another option that has been included in this platform is the ability to create several different desktops within the same session (we have tried to open 20 different desktops without problems, so the limits are surely in the processor's own capacity and the computer RAM memory). Once we open the task view, we will see at the bottom a box with our desktop open. If we click on the "New desktop" button, we will open new desks. You can switch between them just by pressing on the corresponding box. When we place the mouse between them we will see an X similar to the one of the open applications in the upper right part.
By the way, another interesting feature to play with the different desktops happens when we right-click on one of the open applications boxes. From here we choose the option "Move to" and then in the menu we choose between the open desktops or directly on a new desk. In short, we are facing two new Windows tools that are very simple to use and that many users will find really useful. Windows 10 is making merits (even before its official launch) to reverse the little success it has achieved since its launch Windows 8. We will have to wait until the summer to see if these good impressions are reflected in a better reception from the public.
