Microsoft has confirmed once more that Windows 10 will indeed be the last major Windows release. The platform will receive rolling updates and new features to keep it competitive going forward.



From Neowin:

Microsoft is abandoning its traditional development cycle as that model has become outdated, thanks to the rapid evolution of mobile devices and the fast pace of iteration in modern software. As such, the company is opting to use Windows 10 as a foundation across all devices on which new features and technologies may be developed in the future. Meanwhile, the OS will receive constant updates and new features to keep it competitive and up to date with the wider technology scene.

One such major update, coming next year, is Redstone. While this won’t be a major shift in capabilities or features for Windows 10, it will be an important part of next year’s update cycle. Redstone, is expected to bring lots of new features and capabilities to the platform in 2016. However, there will be other updates both for features and fixes long before then. One such feature release is expected this fall, after Windows 10 RTMs but before the holiday shopping season gets going. Many of the features that will miss RTM this summer are expected to show up in such updates going forward.
