微软发新招：7版Windows10即将推出

"We designed Windows 10 to deliver a more personal computing experience across a range of devices," Microsoft's Tony Prophet wrote in a blog post. "An experienceoptimized for each device type, but familiar to all. Windows 10 will power an incrediblybroad range of devices – everything from PCs, tablets, phones, Xbox One, Microsoft HoloLens and Surface Hub."

微软的托尼·普罗菲(Windows部门的营销主管)在他的博客中写道：“我们设计Windows 10是要在众多电子设备中提供一个更加私人的计算体验，一项在每种设备类型中都享受最优质服务的体验，不过它并不陌生。Windows 10将会驱动一系列设备，范围极其宽广，其中囊括个人电脑、平板、手机、Xbox One(一款电子游戏机)、微软全息透镜(HoloLens)和Surface Hub(会议用巨型平板).

As with Windows 8, the consumer-ready editions are focused on desktop and mobile.

像Windows 8那样，Windows 10面向客户的这些版本针对台式电脑和手机。

1. Windows 10 Home: This is the "consumer-focused desktop edition" that will replace Windows 8 Consumer and the one most users will see on their PCs, laptops, tablets and "hybrid" 2-in-1 devices. It will ship with Cortana and Microsoft's Edge browser and have Continuum capabilities. Xbox users will also be able to play Xbox Live games on PCs with Windows 10 Home.

Windows 10家庭版：此客户导向型的桌面版本，将取代Windows 8客户版以及绝大多数用户会在他们的个人电脑、笔记本、平板和“混合式二合一设备上看到的那个版本。此版本将会与微软小娜(Cortana)和微软的Edge浏览器一同推出，并将具备Continuum功能(一种自动调节系统的功能，可免除用户手动切换的烦恼)。Xbox用户还将能在他们Windows 10家庭版的个人电脑上打Xbox Live游戏。(Xbox Live为微软公司开发、管理的在线游戏，数字媒体服务平台。)

2. Windows 10 Mobile: Formerly Windows Phone 8.1, this edition will run on smartphones and tablets with smaller displays. It will run universal Windows 10 apps and the new Office apps optimized for smaller touchscreen devices.

Windows 10移动版：这版的前身是Windows Phone 8.1，它将在智能手机和平板上以更小的显示界面运转。它能带动所有Windows 10应用软件以及那些为更小触屏设备而最优化的新Office软件。

For companies, Microsoft is offering two business-focused desktop editions, depending on the size of the organization.

对于企业而言，微软要提供两种商务导向的桌面版本，它们按企业的规模来划分。

3. Windows 10 Pro: Meant to replace Windows 8.1 Pro, it's designed for small businesses, with extra features to allow companies to manage apps and data across devices. Windows 10 Pro users can also take advantage of Microsoft's new Windows Update for Business program, which makes it easier for organizations to control how they get security and other updates from Microsoft.

Windows 10专业版：它取代了Windows 8.1，是专为小型企业量身定做的版本。它具备的新特点让公司能够通过其他电子设备来管理应用软件和数据。Windows 10专业版的用户们还能使用微软最新推出的Windows Update for Business项目，使得组织机构更便捷地管理他们从微软获得安全保障和其他更新的途径。

4. Windows 10 Enterprise: This edition replaces Windows 8.1 Enterprise and is designed for larger companies. It has more robust security features and also supports the Windows Update for Business program. Enterprise customers aren't able to take advantage of Microsoft's free Windows 10 update as it's only available to volume licensing customers.

Windows 10企业版：此版本代替了Windows 8.1企业版，针对更大型的公司。它拥有更强劲的安全特点，也能支持Windows Update for Business项目。此版本的用户不能免费享受Windows 10的升级，因为它只开放给有批量许可的用户。

5. Windows 10 Mobile Enterprise: Formerly Windows Phone for Business, Windows 10 Mobile Enterprise is the enterprise edition for smartphones and smaller tablets. Also available to volume licensing customers, It gives companies more control over security features and how updates are installed.

Finally, Microsoft is adding new editions for schools and connected devices.

最后，微软还给学校和物联网设备新增了版本。

6. Windows 10 Education: The academic edition's feature set is similar to the enterprise edition in that it gives admins more control over how updates and security features are managed and is available through academic volume licensing. Microsoft also says there will be "paths for schools and students using Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Pro devices to upgrade to Windows 10 Education."

Windows 10教育版：这个学院版本的特点配置与企业版类似，因为它让管理员能更多地掌控更新和安全特征的管理方式，有批量许可的学院用户也同样能使用这一版本。微软还称：“使用Windows 10家庭版和Windows 10专业版设备的学生以及学校将会有办法将其更新至Windows 10教育版。

7. Windows 10 IoT Core: This edition appears to be the replacement for Windows Embedded and will power smaller connected devices, like gateways. (Larger-scale devices like ATMs and retail point-of-sale devices will run versions of Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows 10 Mobile Enterprise, Microsoft says.)

Windows 10物联网核心版：这一版本似乎是为了取代Windows Embedded，它将驱动更小型的物联网设备，例如各类网关。(微软方面表示，更大型的设备像是自动取款机和零售终端设备将运行Windows 10企业版和Windows 10移动企业版。)

Microsoft notes the company is "on track" for a summer release for Windows 10, though exact availability details are still unclear. Windows 10 will be a free upgrade for the first year to most consumers who already have licenses for Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 8.1.

尽管其具体的使用细节仍不清楚，微软称公司正“紧锣密鼓地准备于夏季推出Windows 10。对于大多数已经有Windows7，Windows 8或是Windows 8.1许可的用户，Windows 10将会在第一年为他们提供免费升级服务。
