According to a Microsoft developer, Windows 10 is going to be the last major version of the operating service (OS)
Instead of updating the monthly Patch Tuesday, the OS would bring new innovations and will be updated in an ongoing manner. With Windows 10, the company intends to show a continuous value for the consumers and business customers.

Microsoft has an implemented patching system, called Patch Tuesday, in which the company releases an update for their operating system every month. This is bound to change as the upcoming Windows 10 would stop Patch Tuesday and implement a new system where users can update their machines the soonest.
Developer evangelist Jerry Nixon Mr Nixon’s assertions were reiterated by a Microsoft statement which confirmed it will offer updates for the OS in an “ongoing manner” with “incremental updates”
Nixon revealed that Microsoft secretly made Windows 8.1 as the base for Windows 10. With it, the operating system would be making regular updates instead of introducing newer versions.
"Windows 10 will be delivered as a service bringing new innovations and updates in an ongoing manner, with continuous value for our consumer and business customers,” Microsoft spokeperson said.
Currently, preview builds of Windows 10 are being tested by Microsoft. The company is also developing apps like Xbox and Mail through regular monthly updates. Microsoft Office for Windows 10 is also going to have regular updates, and would no longer release newer versions of it.
Microsoft will release another Windows 10 update codenamed as Windows Redstone next year, and would not be Windows 11 or anything else.
Windows 10 is expected to come out by summer on PCs. For mobiles, tablets, HoloLens and Xbox One, it would be later this year.
