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 to a blog post in Office 365 ProPlus. As it appears, the company is preparing to align Windows 10 updates with company's Office applications.
This particular change is mainly to appease business customers who might not be so happy that Windows 10 will keep getting new features on seemingly arbitrary dates. The upcoming program of six months reassures the expectations of the company's enterprise customers and provides some stability to developers who will need to apply these updates to 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 Ubuntu and other Linux distributions they operate on fixed semi-annual update schedules.
As for what comes in the next version of Windows (codenamed Redstone 3), the most exciting will probably be the UI overhaul 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.
