With a slow but firm step. This is how we are learning about the news of the Windows 10 update for mobile phones, which will become the version that will succeed the Windows Phone 8.1 operating system. A new leak has put us on the track of a new interactive tile system that, under the name of Mixview, could be incorporated into the news of the future update of Windows 10 in its version for mobile phones.
Apparently, Mixview is the name to which a new technology of interactive tiles will respond in which the user would access the information of the applications without having to open them completely. This would be possible thanks to a tile system in which, at the moment in which the user clicked on an icon of an application on the Home screen, said icon would multiply in several floating tiles that would show information about the application in question.
This system could be inherited from the Microsoft McLaren, a draft smartphone Microsoft that at first we thought it would correspond to a new Microsoft Lumia 1030 and eventually was denied and listed as a false rumor. The Microsoft McLaren, today completely canceled, had planned to incorporate a screen with some kind of three-dimensional technology that would precisely make possible the floating tile system or interactive tiles that we are talking about on this occasion.
As announced by the US website WindowsCentral , Microsoft could have managed to incorporate this floating tile technology into the Windows 10 mobile version of the Windows Phone operating system. In this way, at first it is to be assumed that any smartphone compatible with Windows 10 for mobile could enjoy this new tile system.
To give us a graphic and visual idea of how the interactive tile system of Windows 10 for mobile will work, we just have to take a look at Zune MixView, the program that once tried to become Microsoft's competition against the iTunes program from the American company Apple. Zune MixView incorporated a faceplate system that worked exactly as we are discussing the interactive tiles in Windows 10; the user clicked on an icon of a cover art and floating icons were automatically displayed that included suggestions about the current music playback.
At the moment we only know with relative security that the Windows 10 for mobile update should be officially presented and detailed during the Mobile World Congress 2015, a technology event - in which Microsoft has already confirmed its attendance - that will take place in Barcelona (Spain) at the beginning of March. Even if the latest rumors regarding Windows 10 are true, this presentation could be brought forward to January.
