Windows 10 will be the latest? As mentioned yesterday, a Microsoft developer revealed on congress of the company Ignite, held in Chicago that Windows 10 "is the last version of Windows", confirming earlier rumors that Microsoft wanted to stop releasing new versions of its operating system in favor of major updates.
Microsoft, on the other hand, has not officially stated anything relevant to this statement. But as such statements can create a great deal of confusion we decided to write something more. What could Microsoft really do?
Of course the company will not abandon Windows as the functional its system is the second largest source of revenue after its suite Office.
In fact, the statement "latest version of WindowRefers to a new idea that Microsoft will try with Windows 10, which will deliver new releases to its customers at a much faster pace.
So far we know that Microsoft releases new Window versions every three years: Window 7 2009, Window 8 2012, Window 10 2015. But with the release of the new version, the company is reported to try a different approach.
Instead of having new releases every three years, Microsoft will focus on big updates it will have when it's ready.
This means that improvements and new features will be delivered at a much faster rate. So the company could very well have great updates every year.
Updates "when ready" refers to minor security updates, or system enhancements that do not result in major changes. The obvious changes in the system will come as mentioned above every 12 months. It's more or less like Apple's update system for those who know.
As far as name, The Windows 10 it could be the latest version of Windows named version number, because from now on it will be called Windows only.
Updates, on the other hand, are most likely to have code names that will help users and the company know which version is running.
Of course, all of the above is an upcoming strategy that can change as we move towards the end product.
