Microsoft's Home Hub vision makes more sense with Windows 10 ARM and Project Evo

It's all starting to come together.

Project Evo and Windows 10 on ARM are two very important projects that help lay the foundations for Home Hub, Microsoft's up and coming Windows 10 feature that aims to make Windows 10 PCs the center of your home. We recently blew the lid off everything Microsoft has planned for Home Hub, but with the likes of Amazon Echo and Google Home storming the "connected home" and "virtual assistant" market, many of our readers were questioning whether Microsoft's vision for this market is the right one.

Home Hub aims to turn any Windows 10 PC into a hub for everything in your home. It'll allow you to control your smart home devices with Cortana, and Cortana will be able to differentiate between different family members thanks to Windows Hello. There's so much more to it, but in short, devices that utilize Home Hub will be viable and active competitors to the likes of the Amazon Echo and Google Home. The only difference being these Home Hub devices, at least at first, will require some kind of screen to function.
