Microsoft details the many different Windows 10 editions

See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo

Ahead of Windows 10’s release later this summer, Microsoft has detailed all the different versions that’ll be available, including Home, Mobile and Pro. There are actually quite a few different versions being planned, so Microsoft is obviously trying to cover all of the bases. Most people will just need to worry about Home, which the company says is the “consumer-focused desktop edition.”

Windows 10 Home will be the version that ships with most PCs, tablets and 2-in-1s when the software officially launches, and it’ll come with all the goodies, including Cortana, Microsoft Edge, Continuum and Windows Hello, a new face-recognition, iris and fingerprint login feature. Consumers won’t need to trouble themselves with anything beyond that, though there are other versions for business and the like.

In total, there are six different options, with education, enterprise, consumer and mobile users in mind. The Pro edition will feature everything you’d find in the Home version, but also come with “features to meet the diverse needs of small businesses.” Microsoft says the Pro version is a great choice for any businesses that have a Choose Your Own Device (CYOD) system, giving users the ability to easily manage different devices, apps and security features.

What’s particularly notable is that Microsoft has decided to go back to the “Windows Mobile” moniker, dubbing the release Windows 10 Mobile, rather than going with the recent Windows Phone nomenclature. The idea here is to keep a consistent naming scheme across all the different versions, and ensure that Microsoft relays this is an all-new release separate from something like Windows Phone 8.1.

We’re still waiting on an official release date, but even when Windows 10 does come out, the phone version isn’t expected to be available until after the desktop editions hit retail channels.

“We are making strong progress with Windows 10, and we are on track to make it available this summer,” Microsoft said. “Starting this fall, customers can expect ongoing innovation and security updates for their Windows 10 devices, including more advanced security and management capabilities for businesses.”

You can check out an early Technical Preview of Windows 10 now, or, if that’s not an option, you can check out a video we made of a recent update.

Exec behind “Next Big Thing” campaign has departed Samsung

Samsung Mobile CMO, Todd Pendleton, has reportedly departed the company, according to CNET . Pendleton is credited with creating Samsung’s famous “Next Big Thing” campaign, which took aim at the company’s rivals while highlighting the benefits of its own mobile lineup. The ads were smart, terse, and ultimately helped raise the awareness of Samsung’s brand as a major smartphone maker here in the U.S. It’s unclear why Pendleton left, but it’s being reported that Samsung executives became dissatisfied with the campaign’s recent success, even going so far as auditing the mobile division’s Dallas headquarters. It seems you can only use the Next Big Thing tagline so many times; the commercials have taken a decidedly different turn over the past few months, focusing on design, functionality and features rather than bashing Samsung competitors. The timing, I suppose, seems appropriate given that Samsung has just unveiled two new flagships, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Samsung is clearly

You can now control PowerPoint for iPhone with your Apple Watch

Want to master the CMO role?  Join us for GrowthBeat Summit on June 1-2 in Boston , where we'll discuss how to merge creativity with technology to drive growth. Space is limited and we're limiting attendance to CMOs and top marketing execs. Request your personal invitation here ! Microsoft today updated its PowerPoint for iOS app with a rather bizarre update: remote Apple Watch support. You can download the new version now directly from Apple’s App Store . We say this addition is “bizarre” because, well, why would anyone want to control PowerPoint on their iPhone from their Apple Watch? This PowerPoint app also works on the iPad , and we would argue it makes more sense to control a presentation on your tablet from your wrist than one that is on your smartphone.

Pirate Bay co-founder won’t be playing NES in his jail cell

Fredrik Neij, a co-founder of The Pirate Bay, the massive torrent site, was arrested last year for copyright infringement. That’s okay, though. He knew how he was going to spend his free time. Really, it’s not too different from what most gamers might as for: Nintendo. All day, every day. Unfortunately for Neij, prison authorities had some issues with the request. It’s not that video games are against the rules in Swedish prisons, though. That’s actually not too uncommon. To get a piece of hardware into the prison, though, it needs to be opened up so that it can be checked for contraband items (let’s just assume Nintendo-themed shivs) hidden inside. With a DVD player or something like that, it’s not too tough, but the NES uses special security screws to prevent people from tampering with the system or getting at the hardware for piracy purposes. For this reason, the Swedish authorities chose to deny his request. Their explanation is that getting into the console without destroying i
