No shortage of rumors claiming that development work on Windows 10 is nearing its end, and now Microsoft has confirmed that the new operating system is almost ready for action.
Joe Belfiore, actually, was doing the talking this time around.
As reported here (http://www.channelregister.co.uk/2015/05/01/when_will_windows_10_be_released/), the Corporate Vice President of the Operating Systems Group at Microsoft revealed at BUILD 2015 that although Windows 10 is pretty close to be done, a fair amount of work still remains in other areas, including apps.
Here are some details on where things stand:
“The core sections of the OS, they’re pretty close to done. Then you get to the shell, it’s probably 85 percent done. Then you get to the apps, and they are really only 65 percent done. In part that’s because each part of the layer cake has to depend on the step below it, and because we can update the apps more readily. Those teams have more time. The core is pretty close to where it is going to be.”
Good going!
What this means is that there should be no worry that Windows 10 will not be ready in time for a summer 2015 that many expect.
However, some features will not be ready, and simply put, they will not be included in the RTM version of the operating system. Instead, Microsoft will, in all probability, debut a large update for the OS at a later date.
The Autumn Update (http://www.windows8newsinfo.com/smf/index.php?topic=29486.0), as some are calling it.
But this much is certain that Windows 10 is very close to getting the greenlight.
