Microsoft may not replace Windows 10; could be the last version of the OS
News has it that there won't be a Windows 11. Yes, Windows 10 is the last traditional release from the company, and Microsoft will improve it by adding enhancements and updates in the future.
TheVerge quotes Microsoft employee Jerry Nixon, a developer evangelist speaking at the company's Ignite conference saying, "Right now we're releasing Windows 10, and because Windows 10 is the last version of Windows, we're all still working on Windows 10."

He reportedly went on to explain how Microsoft has been working on the base of Windows 10 all through last year even when it launched Windows 8.1. The company will continue to further push updates to this latest OS, but will avoid releasing a complete new version.

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.

The company recently announced the latest build for Windows 10.

In other words, they are going to do with Windows what they now do with Office...make you buy a license every year. Good luck with that.

Wow, now that the internet is firmly entrenched in all of life, they'll probably be squeezing us a bit tighter!
