According to Jerry Nixon, a Microsoft Developer Evangelist Microsoft's going to change pretty much everything about its Windows and it is not going to bother having another version.

Instead Redmond is going to switch to a continuous update process rather than a monthly cycle and change its approach to new releases.

Jerry Nixon, a Microsoft Developer Evangelist, said at the Ignite conference in Chicago that Windows 10 "is the last version of Windows, so we're always working on Windows 10."

So in other words as large updates will become a top priority for Microsoft, the company will also change the naming system for Windows, so instead of Windows X (where X is a number), the new operating system would be simply called Windows.

In fact saying that Windows 10 will be the last version of Windows is only half true. In fact, Microsoft will start working on large updates instead of stand-alone Windows releases. So instead of a cunning plan that brought us new versions of Windows every three years, to a simpler one that's likely to bring big updates every two months.

What's more, security and feature updates will be shipped when they're ready, so Windows users will always be up to date with the latest goodies developed by the company, without the need to wait for a specific rollout based on a pre-defined schedule.

While this might be ok for consumers we suspect that if there are any really major updates, they are going to have corporate IT managers tearing their hair and stamping on their rabbit.

What it does mean is that all devices will be running Windows, including phones, tablets, HoloLens, and PCs. Windows will become the core of everything. Well everything that is not powered by Android, Linux and that comedy operating system from Apple.
