Get ready to receive important updates of Windows faster than ever. Just weeks after the Creators Update was released, Microsoft announced that it plans to start releasing new versions of Windows "twice a year": once in March and once in September.
The announcement came quietly in a post on the Office 365 ProPlus blog. It seems that the company is preparing to align its updates Windows 10 with the company's Office applications.
This change is mainly to reassure business customers who may not be so happy that Window 10 will always have new features at seemingly arbitrary dates. The upcoming six-month program reassures the company's corporate customers' expectations and provides some stability to developers who have to implement these updates on numerous computers.
The older ones know that this change is a huge step compared to the seasons we've been waiting for important new Window features, even when the macOS has been upgraded every two years.
With the above announcement, Microsoft comes a step closer to its goal of building and running Windows 10 as a service that can quickly respond to users' wishes. It is certainly not something unknown, since the Ubuntu and other Linux distributions operate on fixed biannual update schedules.
As for what comes in the next version of Windows (codenamed Redstone 3), the most exciting would probably be the UI revision that the company called Project Neon.
Window Insiders already have and experience the second build of Redstone 3, but it is rather early to talk about the new features.
