Earlier today Microsoft announced Windows 10, which is both a new operating system and what feels like a company-wide reboot. Here's what you need to know:

This is the big, ambitious news. Microsoft are getting into the augmented reality game and the results look crazy. This is, essentially, the midpoint between Google Glass and Oculus Rift, and it feels very much like a plausible sci-fi depiction of the future.


Obviously, the issue with augmented reality is it's very easy to make it look cool (again, remember those first Google Glass impressions?) so until people get to try it out for themselves it's hard to be anything but skeptical. The promotional video looks great, but the live demonstration was much less impressive. Once you get past the fact that we're looking at interactive holograms it basically just seems like a big, 3-D version of MS Paint. And I was terrible at Paint. You will also apparently be able to play Minecraft on a couch. Do you want to play Minecraft on a couch? Maybe!
