According to Microsoft, Windows 10 is "the latest version of Windows"

These are the words of Jerry Nixon, employee and evangelist for Microsoft. What should we understand that statement?



Traditionally, after all business in the technology sector planning future versions of its products well in advance. It is likely that Apple is already working on Apple Watch 2, Google ironing the development of Android M (which should also be released this month), and that flying car prototype is already being tested at Tesla. Well, maybe this last assumption is exaggerated, but certainly: The Future With A Plan

But now, at the middle of Ignite, a parallel conference to Build rather focused on developing software in business, Nixon made a statement that goes around the Internet in recent times: "Right now, we launch Windows 10, and because Windows 10 is the latest version of Windows, we always work on Windows 10. "

Journalist Tom Warren's blog The Verge seems to believe that this choice of words is not accidental or deliberate. That is, it would not be here if the common mistake that people make when they speak goods of the latest iteration of something.

Does this mean that Windows will die? Of course not. Microsoft is rather embarking on a transition that will transform Windows software to a service.
