Any of you guys interested, check out this Powerpoint from the WinHEC conference starting at page 17.
The AudioGraph API shown there is MS new low-latency Universal App Platform.
A video should be up soon.

Interesting. I've been increasingly looking forward to Windows 10, and it's great to see they're finally addressing this at a core level.

So what does this mean? Is this to Windows what Core Audio is to Mac? Better solution for Pro Audio than ASIO? So we can actually use a computer without an interface and have low latency?

I believe it is something like Core Audio. They haven't detailed too much about it yet. They are supposed to reveal more at the Build Conference in April. 

Lower latency at the risk of higher instability probably, if this is at kernel level.

Deja vu is all I'm experiencing. /snark
 
Seriously, that was an interesting read. Thanks.

Let's hope they get it right.
Windows needs a but of an overhaul in the audio department

Nice. Hoping that 10 turns out to be one of the great ones and not a dud. Microsoft is offering 10 for free for the first year, even if you have a pirate copy, and then it's 30.00 a year. If this fails, there are going to be a lot of unhappy people. I'm still on 7, and will only make the jump when 10 gets a good report.

I'll have a look at this and i hope i'll find some news on the avb \ thunderbolt topics...

Where did you get the 30$/year info ?  That made my heart skip a beat.
 
Microsoft says :
 
"We will offer a free upgrade to Windows 10 for qualified new or existing Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1 devices that upgrade in the first year!  And even better: once a qualified Windows device is upgraded to Windows 10, we will continue to keep it up to date for the supported lifetime of the device, keeping it more secure, and introducing new features and functionality over time – for no additional charge. Sign up with your email today, and we will send you more information about Windows 10 and the upgrade offer in the coming months."
 
In the fine print :
 
"Devices must be connected to the internet and have Windows Update enabled."
 
I hope that's for the upgrade and not always.  Otherwise I'll be sticking with 7 forever...
