UNIVERSAL APPS:
Universal apps ! as the name suggests they are indeed universal! consider a developer who is coding a game for PC,Finished ,okay so he submits it to windows store gets some good reviews and finally decides to bring it to windows phone! The nightmare is coding the game again!
So to ease the situation win10 starts with the idea of unifying things up!For general public this may not mean much but as a developer it means a lot.Code once and it can run on any form factor running windows 10 from small lumia phones to the gigantic surface hub ,hololens and xbox one.

CONTINUUM:
Well to all the readers i would first tell you about this feature if you are not already aware of this great feature of the windows!
Read on to know how your windows phone can be used as a PC !
Okay so continuum is basically a feature that in collaboration with the universal apps(discussed above) gives phone the power of PC!since a phone and a PC running a universal windows app will have no distinction in their code and the moment the size and form factor changes the app adapts to it. So when you connect your phone to a PC it shows you a view of your phone similar to project my screen app. when you launch, suppose Microsoft word on your phone's start screen it will automatically open on PC with complete size as you would expect it to run on PC all powered by your windows phone!
Another way of it worth mentioning is on a convertible PC like the Surface Pro where you can connect the keyboard and remove it as and when you like!the OS prompts you and changes accordingly as a touch based or a mouse and keyboard based.Check the video for more.
CORTANA FOR PC
Cortana the famous personal digital assistant by microsoft debuted on windows phone early last year at //BUILD/ .From then Cortana has evolved a lot offering in 10 regions currently!See below:

You can even ask her to locate your powerpoint presentations,or your documents and more.
MICROSOFT EDGE
Okay so the logo has changed!Finally Microsoft has evolved their long hated Internet Explorer and replaced with the Microsoft Edge browser codenamed as "Project Spartan".Microsoft Edge is a new browser which is claimed by microsoft to break all the records by setting new benchmark records.
Turn Browsing into doing:Microsoft!
- Microsoft edge has a feature in which you can write and sketch on web and then share it.
- Reading list feature included in the browser is also very nice
- Also the most important is that Cortana is built into the browser itself!she can be very helpful on finding some restaurants,tickets and more.
Hop over to the video to see more!
Finally see this final video of the microsoft ignite conference by Joe Belfiore and see all this sum up yourself.

Something innovative. Can't wait to see the windows 10. Non the less edge seems to the copy of chrome . but adding sketching is quite fun
