For the techies ( AKA Software Developers ) among you, here’s what Windows 10 has in store — Something called: Universal apps, which is a new way of building applications that can easily be ported from PCs to mobile and Xbox devices.

It’s not quite “write once, run anywhere,” but it’s a lot closer than past versions of Microsoft products. The goal? To convince Microsoft’s large base of Windows PC developers to move their apps over to Microsoft’s newer mobile platforms, which will hopefully close the app gap versus Android and Apple’s iOS.

I know nothing much about computers, other than how to turn 'em off and on...but just last week my Win7 desktop smelled of electrical burnout, so I bought a new all-in-one with Win8.1 (no alternative that I could find)......

I took the oldie and newbie to local computer guru and he swapped all my stuff onto the new one and installed "Classic Shell" so that my new 8.1 would not be too dissimilar from what I'd become accustomed to. "Familiarity" is very important to wifey and me....

I'll have to give this all a couple of months absorption and then maybe see if he recommends me swapping 8.1 to 10.
