Build 2016 - Windows 10 in the Enterprise

In the Day 1 Keynote at Microsoft's Build 2016 conference last week in San Francisco, Microsoft revealed some of the progress they are seeing with Windows 10.

Terry Myerson, the Windows and Devices Group Chief, revealed that there are now 270 million active users of the eight month old operating system, an increase of 70 million since early January, and that users have spent over 75 billion hours in the operating system.

OEM Partners have launched over 500 new devices specifically designed for Windows 10 with screen sizes across the entire spectrum and with the Department of Defense announcing its plans to upgrade over 4 million devices to Windows 10 within the next year the momentum remains strong.

According to Myerson, Windows 10 is the fastest growing version of Windows 10 ever and with that understanding they did bring some content to Build 2016 for those of you in the Enterprise.

This hour long session is by Rob Lefferts, Director of Program Management for Enterprise and Security and he talks about Windows 10 and it means for you as IT Pros.

In this video he begins by addressing how the digital revolution is impacting us across all levels of life/industry and then talks about concerns that IT Pros like yourselves have and how Windows 10 has been built to address those areas.

But, wait...there's probably more so be sure to follow me on Twitter and Google+.

Senior Content Producer, IT Pro Today (Informa Tech)

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
