Windows 10

Assuming Microsoft follows its biannual release schedule which we saw last year, we will see an update in the Spring (insiders are currently testing this update, known as Redstone 4) and then another in the Autumn/Fall (most likely RS5).

Most of the features for RS4 are already available in the Insider Fast ring. These include timeline, Edge improvements and more Fluent Design across the OS.

For RS5, I’d expect to see cloud clipboard show up. This feature, which sync clipboards between multiple devices, was originally slated for RS4, but was later postponed. Another interesting feature that could show up in this update is Sets, which allows users to have multiple apps open in tabs, in one window.

This year, we could also see the arrival of Windows Core OS. Simply, this project aims to unify and modularise the Windows 10 experience across all devices. Windows Central’s Zac Bowden has written an excellent article on the subject, explaining how this works.
