I see rumors flying around about the next version Windows. One \nwriter suggested it will be called Windows 11. My impression is that it\n is more likely to be called Windows 10 spring edition or something of \nthat nature or a remote possibility it will be Windows 12 or Windows 20 \n(for Windows 2020). Microsoft has been making noises using “new” \nlanguage for their Operating System to come; but, I don’t see that as an\n indication of a new name for the product as much as an attempt to get a more standardized way of talking about the product family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n How soon will we see the next version of Windows? Well, for many of us\n we recently received updates that, historically, would have been touted\n as a new version. Version 1903 started being pushed out to users in \nMay of 2019 and by September many of us had version 1909. Since the \ndesktop was not significantly changed, most users don’t notice, and I \nconsider that a good thing. Windows 10 is finally looking like a mature\n product and some trust is being developed in it as a stable platform \nfor getting work done. I look for a similar time table for Windows 10 \nversion 2003 to appear in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I would like to see a few major \nchanges in the new versions; first on my list is a much-improved update \nprocess, followed immediately by a change in how software installs in \nWindows. We can see a hint of the change I am looking for in the new \n“Apps” which are like programs but make smaller changes to Windows as \npart of the installation process. I want to see the “new” Windows \ntotally separate the changes made during install from the registry for \nthe operating system. If this means having 2 registries, one for \nWindows and a separate one for applications and programs, I am all for \nthat. Let us see an end to the installation of one program having any \nchance of affecting that of another related or unrelated program. \nSimilarly, let us see an end to Windows upgrades having any impact on \nthe operation of installed programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What little insider \ninformation I get indicates that a new upgrade system resulting in a \ncompletely different user experience (no user intervention of any kind \nanticipated in the new upgrade system) is coming soon to Windows; but, \nno dates to expect that yet. At the same time, Microsoft continues to \ndevelop new Apps for Windows 10 to continue fleshing out what they plan \nas a complete user experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
