This spot takes us to a future world in which kids won’t see some amazing computing/communications advances as all that extraordinary–these progressive breakthroughs by today’s standards will merely be a part of everyday life. You’ll be able to unlock a computer with a smile, scribble on the Internet, share ideas, not have to worry about technology but embrace it.

Directed by Erich Joiner of Tool, this commercial–“Introducing Windows 10–The future starts now”–is the centerpiece of a new Windows 10 campaign, “a more human way to do,” voiced by Ethan Hawke and embodying a worldview in which people from all walks of life, from a rural child in a developing nation to a city kid in New York, have access to great technology that helps them unlock their potential. Windows 10 is here to make sure no one is limited in what they want to do.
