Windows for short: Windows 10

With such an event as Wednesday's, it was difficult to talk about anything other than everything presented in it. Microsoft has dominated the news of the week, be it with Windows 10 or with devices like HoloLens, but these seven days have also had other protagonists that we will try to collect before to finally say goodbye to the week.

On the same Wednesday, while we were all watching what was happening in Redmond, WhatsApp wanted to seek its own share of prominence with the launch of its long-awaited web version. The popular messaging service thus begins its expansion to other devices, among which it will soon have to take into account smartwatches such as those that have been reviewed these days in Xataka.Among them is not yet the Microsoft Band, which by the way was absent this week. But time will have to talk about her. Now it's time to close the day with the news from the Windows universe that stayed in the dark

• The week started with trouble for Microsoft in China, where Outlook appears to have been under attack.
• Microsoft Research continues to be a patent filing machine and the latest has to do with a technology capable of charging phone batteries with light .
• But if they seem interested in anything in Redmond, it is in the analysis and study of a large amount of information and data, and that is why they have decided to acquire companies like Equivio and Revolution Analytics.
• With Windows 10 just around the corner, perhaps the data is less relevant, but it is always interesting to know what the cost of licenses for Windows 8.1 .
• The detail of the week is provided by Microsoft itself, which has begun to appreciate the feedback from some members of the Windows Insider program with comments in the Windows source code 10.

And it is precisely that image of the source code that seems appropriate to close the week. The era of Windows 10 is still just beginning and the key lies in all those lines of code that Microsoft engineers and developers are putting into the system. They will create the operating system that we will use in the future and that we will continue to talk about in Xataka Windows.
