Their promise? To continually improve its platform. Despite its rocky start, Windows 10 has been getting major upgrades at a rapid pace and its creators just confirmed that another one may be on the way. In a revelation made to a team of developers at <a href=\"https:\/\/msftignite.com.au\/\">Ignite Australia<\/a> in recent weeks, Microsoft disclosed through a presentation that a major update will follow by the end of the year. The Windows 10 upgrade unnamed service pack will follow the Creators Update (the Redstone 3) and we\u2019ve still got little information of what it will contain. Tech experts, however, have given out a few hints on what the update may include.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"Normal wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-redstone-4-might-unveil\">What Redstone 4 Might Unveil<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"Normal\">To begin with, there are speculations the update will highlight <u><a href=\"https:\/\/betanews.com\/2017\/02\/01\/windows-10-project-neon-app\/\"><span class=\"tm7\">Project NEON<\/span><\/a><\/u>. It\u2019s a major redesign for Windows 10, which includes aesthetic improvements and a unification around a new design language. Judging from the leaks we\u2019ve seen so far on Project NEON, it looks awesome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"Normal\">Aside from the potential new look that Windows 10 will soon have, we\u2019re curious to see how it\u2019ll tie up with the rumored Windows Cloud<span class=\"tm8\">\u2015<\/span>a possibly new variant of Windows 10. The leaks of this widely speculated operating system show an&nbsp;uncanny resemblance to the failed Windows RT as it only runs Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps. In case you don\u2019t know, these apps you purchase and download from the Windows Store run across all compatible Microsoft Windows device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"Normal\">What this means is that this upcoming Windows 10 variation could be the primary contender to Google\u2019s increasingly capable and incredibly lightweight Chrome OS. And we could be interacting with it no sooner than this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"Normal wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-new-windows-10-upgrade\">A New Windows 10 Upgrade?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"Normal\">You heard that right. Microsoft may be working on the next Windows platform as early as today. It\u2019s frankly an odd direction, considering that Windows 10 is barely two years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tm9 Normal\">This incredible piece of information shows what potentially could be the next Windows operating system (OS). For the record, it\u2019s unlike anything we or anybody has seen before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"tm9 Normal wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-new-os-dubbed-windows-cloud\">New OS Dubbed \u201cWindows Cloud\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tm9 Normal\">News of a mysterious OS first circulated weeks ago when code references hinted about it in the latest beta for the upcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/windows\/features?activetab=NewPopular\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Windows 10 upgrade<\/a>. While Microsoft was quick to quell the rumors, people have already got their hands on an actual build of the so-called \u201cWindows Cloud\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tm9 Normal\">Curious what was found out? Well, they tested what could be a stripped version of Windows 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tm9 Normal\">As mentioned earlier, it only runs Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps or apps that have been programmed to readily run on both mobile devices and desktop interface. Run a standard desktop program on the Windows Cloud and you\u2019ll be denied with the message: \u201cThe app you\u2019re trying to run isn\u2019t designed for this version of Windows.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tm9 Normal\">It\u2019s also curious to see Microsoft tag \u201ccloud\u201d onto the name of this potential Windows 10 variant. Unlike Chrome OS, it doesn&#8217;t run on the cloud. Could it simply mean that the system is incredibly lightweight compared to its predecessors?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"tm9 Normal wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-replacement-for-window-10\">A Replacement for Window 10?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tm9 Normal\">If we go by popular speculations, Windows Cloud may very well be supplementing Windows 10 rather than supplanting it. The more we think about it, it may be that Microsoft will be using its own lightweight OS to go toe-to-toe with Chrome OS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tm9 Normal\">This no longer surprises us considering that Google\u2019s cloud-based model has turned out to be an astounding success, profit-wise. It currently outsells Macs, and may have given Microsoft an idea to try and tap into that market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tm9 Normal\">On the other hand, there are rumors that this new Windows 10 variant could pave the way for the company to further test the viability of launching new business schemes. Keep in mind that Microsoft already has set up monthly rental fees in place for business ($7 for every user who uses Windows 10 on an enterprise-level).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"tm9 Normal wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-potential-boom-or-possible-bust\">A Potential Boom or Possible Bust<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tm9 Normal\">The last time we checked, Microsoft\u2019s shot at managing two new Windows version resulted in a massive failure. They\u2019ve explored new frontiers, sure, but it doesn\u2019t take a genius to see that there was more downside to them launching Windows 8 together with Windows RT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tm9 Normal\">Would Microsoft commit the same mistake or has the brand learned from the past? We may have to wait and see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tm9 Normal\">What we know is this: Windows 10 may be Microsoft\u2019s \u201c<u><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2015\/5\/7\/8568473\/windows-10-last-version-of-windows\"><span class=\"tm7\">last version<\/span><\/a><\/u>\u201d of its well-known platform. So, it\u2019s doing everything in its power to make sure it\u2019ll be a bigger runaway success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The public may have mixed opinions about Windows 10, but this hasn\u2019t stopped Microsoft from delivering what it promised.
