At its Build 2016 developer conference event in San Francisco today, Microsoft shared details on its Anniversary Update for Windows 10. The company detailed a slew of new features coming to its latest and greatest operating system, for free. In fact, the Anniversary Update is also coming to Xbox One, bringing Windows 10 apps to Microsoft’s gaming console.

Windows 10 is a service. As we wrote in our deep dive on how Microsoft is still building Windows 10, this means Windows Insiders are getting new builds even though the operating system launched in July 2015.

Bryan Roper, product manager of Microsoft’s Windows Group, took the stage to show what its 270 million users and developers can expect.

First up, Microsoft Edge will support Windows Hello for websites. In short, you’ll be able to log into websites with your face.

Next, Roper talked about Windows Ink. Roper declared “72 percent of people still use pen and paper” and for “more than an hour a day” before diving into how users will be able to use new inking features in both Windows 10 and Microsoft Office. He showed off a notes app that can recognize times and places based on natural language processing, the Maps app being able to interpret lines that you draw, and Word interpreting crossing out and highlighing text.
