anniversary this past October. But a decade down the road, we are to get a new name, starting this upcoming release on August 12. Redmond is not only changing the name, but also switching to a new approach — one that brings new features and improvements, not just bug fixes. In a recent blog post, a few days back, the company referred to this upcoming set of monthly updates simply as “Update Tuesday”. This is what was said:
“Rather than waiting for months and bundling together a bunch of improvements into a larger update as we did for the Windows 8.1 Update, customers can expect that we’ll use our already existing monthly update process to deliver more frequent improvements along with the security updates normally provided as part of Update Tuesday.”Now, while the statement does not make it clear whether Microsoft will introduce new enhancement for Windows every month, but we can at least expect plenty of security fixes. Plus, this aligns with Redmond’s strategy of a faster cadence for the Windows operating system. So long then, Windows Updates, and thanks for the memories. The technology world now looks forward to Update Tuesday, and what it will bring the second Tuesday of every month.]]>
