The really big news, of course, was Windows 10 announcement in which Windows revealed its desire to be a brand people love and not need. Microsoft also surprised pretty much everyone, with the launch of HoloLens — an augmented reality device that puts Google Glass to shame.

Another controversial launch wasWhatsapp‘s arrival on the desktop. To say that reviews have been mixed would be kind.
