What's next for Windows 10?
Wow! We had a record number of calls yesterday as the Windows 10 roll-out started. "Should we?", "Is it any good?", "Can I go back to Windows 7 if I don't like it?" were just some of the questions asked.
Windows 10 is now available as a free upgrade for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users.
While millions are performing the upgrade this week, Microsoft is
working hard on updates and fixes behind the scenes. Some of those
patches have already started rolling out, but there are more to come. The first bigger collection of fixes will come with what Microsoft calls
Service Release 1 (SR1).
We believe that SR1 is due to be released in early August, possibly as early as
next week. While SR1 won't include new features, it will fix some of the
issues people have been experiencing with Windows 10.
After the initial patches and updates, Microsoft is working toward a
bigger collection of fixes and feature additions for later this year tentatively scheduled for October.
Microsoft's dedicated Messaging app for Windows 10 will enter preview in
the coming weeks. The messaging app will bring Skype integration
directly into Windows 10, creating a more iMessaging- and FaceTime-like service.
Microsoft is planning to release this to Windows 10 users later this
year. You'll be able to make
video and audio calls all without a dedicated Skype app, and Skype
messaging will be supported through the built-in Messaging app.
