Ask HN: What are the Under the Hood technical changes in Windows 10?

6 pointspdeva13 comments

All that I read about Windows 10 is the inclusion of the Start Menu and how Metro apps can run in windowed mode.

However, what are the big technical, under the hood changes? Surely there must be some.

I guess the Universal Windows Platform [1] and Continuum [2] are what Microsoft would point to first.

.NET Native [1] promises to speed up C# code so that it is comparable to C++. Universal applications stand to benefit as the page says, and I assume that traditional .NET desktop apps can take advantage of it as well.

.Net Native is a feature of the .net framework and not Windows 10...
