Commencing a new era for Windows coinciding with the launch of the Lumia 950 and 950 XL
Amman, January 2016 - Heralding the arrival of the most secure and flexible version of Windows to date, on 31 January, 2016, Microsoft Jordan officially announced the arrival of Windows 10 in the Kingdom. During the daylong launch event, hosted at Four Seasons Hotel Amman, customers, retailers, distributors, media representatives and social media influencers were invited to learn more about the amazing new features, personalized experience and cross-device compatibility that Windows 10 has to offer.
Windows 10 is designed to be familiar, innovative, productive and secure. Available through free download and installed on new devices, Windows 10 presents a number of original features, beginning with Windows Hello, which allows users to log in securely using fingerprint or facial recognition and to be greeted with a smile. Microsoft Edge, Windows' new browser, allows people to quickly browse, read, mark up and share the Web, while Cortana, the personal digital assistant, makes it easy to quickly find the right information at the right time.
While exploring innovative new ground, Windows 10 also manages to remain familiar. With the return and enhancement of the Start menu, users can quickly reach their most frequently used apps, PC settings and customized Live Tiles. Windows 10 also comes with a number of exceptional built-in apps, including Photos; Maps; Microsoft's new music app, Groove; and Movies & TV. In addition, the New Windows Store provides for a more streamlined download process, allowing users to find and install the apps they need with efficiency. The most secure version of Windows ever built, always-enabled updates and enhanced security features help to keep users protected against viruses, malware, and phishing attacks.
Throughout the launch event, visitors were briefed on the key features and benefits of the latest Windows offering in a series of presentations, illustrating how Windows 10 not only fits seamlessly into users' lives, but enhances them through intuitive, cross-device usage. Showcasing its potential productivity and mobility, speakers explained how Windows 10 enables users to stay active at home or in the office, with access to their documents by phone, tablet or laptop. They also highlighted the incredible business benefits of the platform, which delivers reliable up-to-date solutions that provide room for expansion and development, as well as exciting multi-tasking capabilities, such as the Action Center, Task View and multiple desktops.
Guests were also able to witness firsthand the speed and ease of use associated with Windows 10 by visiting workstations equipped with the latest Windows 10-enabled laptops, tablets and phones. Introducing powerful and versatile hardware to unlock new Windows 10 experiences, Microsoft Jordan has recently launched the Lumia 950 and 950 XL in Jordan, providing for an optimal, innovative mobile experience.
"Running in 192 countries and on almost 200 million devices worldwide, Windows 10 has gained an incredible amount of momentum across the globe. This event provided us in Jordan with an excellent opportunity to ride this wave, spreading knowledge on what sets Windows 10 apart and encouraging its adoption locally," said Microsoft Jordan Country Manager, Hussein Malhas. "Windows 10 provides the perfect companion for the Lumia 950 and 950 XL, which were designed specifically to offer maximum mobility, productivity and flexibility.
