• More non-news: Microsoft will release another Win10 version later this year

  The MSblogosphere (TM) seems to be bloviating over the discovery of a slide in a Ch9 video from Bill Karagounis’s presentation at Microsoft’s Ignite Australia conference. (Look at 22 to 24 minutes, if you’re really interested.)

  The slide shows that Microsoft plans on shipping another version of Windows 10 in late 2017.

  If that comes as a surprise to you, then you haven’t been following along. Windows 10 has received version bumps every eight months or so, since the first bump appeared four months after the original version of Win10.

  We were originally told that Win10 version changes (“feature updates”) would appear two to three times a year. Two weeks ago, Dani Halfin posted on TechNet in his Overview of Windows as a Service that:

  Windows as a service will deliver smaller feature updates two to three times per year

  The rhythm now is definitely set at 8 months, give or take a bit. That would equate to two versions of Win10 in 2017, and one in 2018.

  Where’s the mystery?

  But there are still some significant lingering questions.
