Cloud-based hosting enables Microsoft to update those components regularly, providing users with the latest bug fixes, improvements and features - all automatically. In addition to improved security, a new browser and a new voice activated intelligent assistant, Windows 10 also boasts the introduction of cloud-based hosting of some of the operating system's core components. Forced adoption of that new interface became a barrier to users embracing Windows 8, due to unfamiliarity with it and its rather steep learning curve. Previously, Windows 8 aimed to migrate all users to their Start Screen interface regardless of their device. Microsoft plans to incorporate a feature which will automatically switch between tablet and desktop mode based on the whether a mouse or keyboard is present. Unlike the Windows 8 series, Windows 10 enables users to choose between using the Start Screen (for tablets and mobile devices) and the more traditional Start Menu (for PCs and laptops). Windows 10 succeeded the prior and poorly received Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. It is an entirely new version of their flagship operating system. About Windows 10 Microsoft has made Windows 10 the most comprehensive update to Windows in the long history of the product.
