Getting To Know Windows 10 Update

Windows Update Changes

Windows 10 release will feature a brand new update scheme that will be phenomenally different from the updating schemes that previous versions had enjoyed. It seems Microsoft has finally acknowledged the need for making regular incremental improvements in the operating system. Moreover, this also highlights the need for different update systems between consumers and enterprise users.

With the new operating system, both enterprise and regular version operating system users will have different update policies. Which means, this time, the operating system will get a steady stream of both feature and security updates, bringing it on par with other similar operating systems. The security fixes will continue to function the same way; once a month and installed automatically. However, the feature updates will be entirely different and will have three different release speeds. The users will get the consumer release that will be publically distributed as soon as they are released.

Hence, this way, continuous improvement to the Windows Desktop OS can be accepted, which is how the Chrome OS and Android functions. For other systems where security is of paramount importance, nothing except for the security updates will be channeled. Using this policy, Windows 10 OS handles mission critical systems and environments where security certificates need to be validated at all times.  Apart from that, there is another update option where business users can keep up with the new features, but the control over which update and when, will depend upon the user himself.

Windows 10 Features

Windows 10 OS will be by far, the most intelligent operating system, well capable of mixed deployment at variable speeds. This entails running a few machines at a consumer pace, acting like canaries for the rest of the organization. This would allow intermediate option for some machines and security fixes alone for the rest. Each update will change the Windows version number, providing a name and an update route for those who are using the most conservative update policy. This means, you will be seeing the end of “Service Packs” and alike after the introduction of Windows 10. The updates will be hot-fixes, which means the update will continue in parallel and the full operating system installer will be responsible for the entire install and update scenarios.

Users are already waiting for the Windows 10 release, which is all set to happen sometime in the spring next year. The operating system will integrate a unified market for all platforms and bring in a string of interesting features.
