Microsoft to push out major updates to Windows Twice a Year

Post Views: 104

On Thursday, Microsoft announced that it will be pushing major updates to its Windows operating system twice a year (in March and September), to not only keep up with the market, but to also to help its enterprise users adopt the operating system at a faster pace.

The company just released its most recent version of Windows, the Windows 10 Creator’s Update, and said the next feature update is currently targeted for release in September. The company will update its Office 365 ProPlus suite each time it updates Windows, too.

Microsoft hopes that this new change of pace will help its enterprise customers adopt Windows 10 and plan for the updates six months in advance. It says it will support each version of Windows for 18 months.

The next version of Windows is currently codenamed “Project Neon” and is supposed to bring more sweeping changes to the user interface of the operating system — which means it will look very different from the current release.

It could be one of the more feature-rich updates, at least more so than the Windows 10 Creator’s release, since Microsoft is also pushing forward with new augmented-reality initiatives that are expected to work in tandem with Windows 10.
