Microsoft, the trusted brand for easy software products, reportedly hinted its yet-to release Windows 10 OS would be the last operating system from them. Yes, we won’t be having Windows 11 or any other OS in future, they also have clarified that this OS would get regular over-the-air updates like Google's Android and Apple's iOS.
It seems, Windows is preparing to be a service rather than a product. The induction of Apple and Google products into the markets has changed the way of Microsoft. The decision to stop extensions and providing regular updates to existing OS would help both users and the firm.
The reason for this change is Microsoft reportedly plans to launch Windows as a service. However, doesn’t really explain how it plans to do so. “Microsoft has altered the way it engineers and delivers Windows, and the initial result is Windows 10. Instead of big releases, there will be regular improvements and updates. Part of this is achieved by splitting up operating system components like the Start Menu and built-in apps to be separate parts that can be updated independently to the entire Windows core operating system,” points out TheVerge report.
“Recent comments at Ignite about Windows 10 are reflective of the way Windows will be delivered as a service bringing new innovations and updates in an ongoing manner, with continuous value for our consumer and business customers,” a Microsoft spokesperson later told the news site.
We have to wait and see how the new OS is going to be and how they will provide updates to users in the future to retain them with a good product and service.
