"In a world of near infinite compute power and an exponential growth in data, we are focused on empowering every developer to build applications for this new era of intelligent cloud and intelligent edge", said Satya Nadella, CEO, Microsoft.
Finally, some will be glad to know that iTunes, Ubuntu, openSUSE and Fedora are coming to the Windows 10 Store.
Apple's iTunes platform is already available on Microsoft's Windows and now the software is coming to the Windows 10 Store.
Microsoft's big push under Satya Nadella has been to meet users wherever they are, putting its Windows smartphone plans on the back-burner and reaching out to Android and iOS users in a big way.
Announced yesterday during day two of Microsoft's three-day Build developer conference in Seattle, the Fall Creators Update will introduce new ways to work across devices, transform photos and videos into stories, and put mixed-reality applications to new uses.

John Kasich tweeted that he was "shocked & pained by the horrific shooting in Kirkersville , ask for prayers for those injured". The number of shots fired in the incident is not yet known and if DiSario was able to fire any shots has not been determined.
Another feature will let users start working on a document on a Windows 10 PC and pick up where they left off on a rival phone. While the company wouldn't say when this latest version of its ubiquitous operating system will arrive, the software's very name supplies as good a hint as any: it's dubbed the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. In fact, the first Windows 10 on ARM PCs using Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 processor are expected later this year.
Story Remix, a new image and video editing app, will enable users to create short video montages using shared photos and video.
Yet another feature in which Windows makes nice with iOS and Android is the Clipboard. It lets you add soundtracks, annotations, transitions, special effects, and even allow users to add 3D objects to your photos and videos to view in mixed reality. For example, you'll be able to copy text on your Windows device and paste it on iOS through SwiftKey's keyboard.
Shum said Microsoft now offers 29 different cognitive services to developers, making it possible for them to incorporate AI capabilities in new apps "with just a few lines of code". However, the company has not revealed all features of this Windows 10 Creators update. It displays a timeline of the tasks you have done for the past day or days, allowing you to jump back to an old task or app with a click.
Users will now be able to access files in the cloud without downloading them and using storage space on a specific device. Microsoft showed how someone could be working in Microsoft PowerPoint on one device, and then move across to another, with AI assistant Cortana reminding you what document you were working on and exactly where you left off.
