Windows 10, of course, uses the services of Microsoft, but can easily be synchronized with other services, particularly with Google.

Thus we see, as with many small victories Microsoft makes its way to the market. Each of them directly contributes to the promotion of Surface and Windows 10 by increasing sales.
