The release of Windows 10 in summer 2015 was undoubtedly a significant milestone for the software giant, which had previously suffered from the poorly received Windows 8, failing to gain widespread adoption due to its contentious dual-interface \u2014 the classic desktop and the tile-based Metro interface.<\/p>\n

\"New<\/p>\n

\u2193<\/a><\/noindex>#<\/a><\/noindex>Learning from Mistakes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In developing the new platform, the Microsoft team made an effort to address all the critical feedback regarding the lukewarm reception of the 'eight' and even initiated the Windows Insider preview testing program \u2014 the largest project in the corporation's history for user engagement, allowing participants to actively contribute to the development of the operating system by downloading test versions, communicating with developers, and sending their suggestions and comments. This unprecedented openness from Microsoft enabled the company to release a truly quality product that fully met the demands of the user audience, which greatly appreciated the new system.<\/p>\n

\"New<\/p>\n

A well-crafted marketing strategy played a crucial role in the rapid rise of Windows 10's popularity, allowing free installation of the 'ten' for owners of previous OS versions. This generous gesture from the Redmond-based company did its job and provided a solid launch for Microsoft's latest platform: within just the first day after release, the operating system was was downloaded<\/a><\/noindex> installed approximately 14 million times. The milestone of 50 million installations was reached about two weeks after the platform's release, while it took two months to install 100 million copies. It\u2019s no surprise that the newcomer quickly displaced Windows XP\/8\/8.1, and after two and a half years, it surpassed the market favorite \u2014 Windows 7, which at that time had a strong presence in the corporate sector.<\/p>\n

Currently, Windows 10 is the most popular operating system from Microsoft worldwide. According to data<\/a><\/noindex> According to the analytics agency StatCounter, Windows 10 is installed on 73.1% of computers, while 20% of PC owners still use Windows 7. Windows 8.1 ranks third in demand, but its share is a modest 4.5% and is steadily declining. In total, various versions of Microsoft's operating systems occupy 77.7% of the global market for personal computer OS. Approximately 17.1% is attributed to macOS, and around 1.9% to various distributions of Linux.<\/p>\n

\u2193<\/a><\/noindex>#<\/a><\/noindex>Changing Priorities<\/strong><\/h2>\n

With the release of Windows 10 for personal computers, Microsoft switched to a new operating system update model \u2014 the so-called 'Windows as a Service' concept, which involves releasing major updates twice a year (in spring and fall) and supporting them for 18 months. An exception has been made for corporate and educational editions of the platform, whose fall releases are supported for 30 months from the release date. To grasp the scale of the changes, it's sufficient to consider that in previous years, Windows was updated every three years. Now, the development process has accelerated sixfold, inevitably affecting the quality of the products released. However, let's not get ahead of ourselves and we will revisit this important point later.<\/p>\n

In five years of work on the platform, specialists from the software giant have managed to release nine updates that significantly expanded its functionality. This is an undeniable fact, which can be easily verified in our review articles<\/a><\/noindex> and news articles<\/a><\/noindex> publications dedicated to Windows 10.<\/p>\n

\"New<\/p>\n

Comparing the 2015 model 'Ten' to the current version, one cannot help but notice how much the platform has transformed and evolved over the years. The OS has gained support for 3D technology, Mixed Reality, DirectX 12 Ultimate, a gaming mode, and instant pairing with external Bluetooth devices. It includes quick data sharing features between devices, new tools for multimedia, networking, and entertainment content, the ability to reinstall the system from the cloud, and support for a picture-in-picture mode that allows a small window to be placed over other active programs for multitasking. Significant improvements have been made to security features: mechanisms for protection against ransomware and potentially unwanted software have been added, automatic PC locking tools for when a user is absent, and a Sandbox component that allows running questionable applications in an isolated environment without risk. The list of changes and improvements is truly impressive.<\/p>\n

Peace, friendship, Open Source<\/strong><\/p>\n

With the release of Windows 10, Microsoft made a significant step towards open technologies, and this shift has been highly praised by the Open Source professional community. Among the work done in this direction, we highlight the browser Edge<\/a><\/noindex> based on the source code of the Chromium project and the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), which enables running Linux applications in a Windows environment. Additionally, Microsoft is conducting<\/a><\/noindex> active efforts to integrate the software platform with devices running on Android. It is expected that in the future, through the OS's bundled program 'Your Phone', users will be able to launch and use any applications originally designed for Android on 'Ten'. All of this makes Windows 10 an excellent tool for IT administrators of multi-platform systems, programmers, web developers, and those who work with open-source applications or have an interest in Linux-based platforms.<\/p>\n

\"New<\/p>\n

\u2193<\/a><\/noindex>#<\/a><\/noindex>Less is more<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Now it's time to discuss the sad truth. Namely, in the pursuit of frequent releases of the Windows 10 operating system, Microsoft has paid less attention to quality control of its flagship product. This is evidenced by numerous complaints and reviews from users who frequently encounter various issues after installing OS updates. A wealth of materials on this topic can be found in specialized IT forums and the media. Need examples? Here are just a few of them: 'Microsoft is aware of a critical bug in the KB4532693 update for Windows 10 and offers a solution'<\/a><\/noindex>, 'No day without a bug: the KB4532695 update for Windows 10 'kills' not only sound but also the network'<\/a><\/noindex>, 'Microsoft released the wrong Windows 10 update and has already retracted it'<\/a><\/noindex>, 'A recent update to Windows 10 disrupted the operation of the built-in antivirus'<\/a><\/noindex>.<\/p>\n

It first became known in 2018 that Microsoft faced serious issues with the development, debugging, and testing of its software, when the company released<\/a><\/noindex> a frankly \"raw\" major autumn update, skipping the Release Preview testing phase of the Windows Insider program. As it turned out, this was not the best decision, as a critical error was revealed in the Windows 10 October 2018 Update that deleted user files stored in the \"Documents\" folder on some PCs. Microsoft acknowledged the issue and halted the rollout of the update. After restarting the update, a pile of bugs and problems were discovered again, including system-level issues, accompanied by the appearance of the Blue Screen of Death (BSoD). The company had to pause the distribution of the update package for the \"ten\" - and this happened several times.<\/p>\n

\"New<\/p>\n

The apotheosis of professional prowess from the software giant\u2019s programmers was the recent release of the major update, Windows 10 May 2020 Update, with ten (sic!) known issues<\/a><\/noindex> issues on board that lead to critical platform errors including Blue Screen of Death (BSoD). Compatibility problems have been noted with the Thunderbolt interface, Nvidia graphics cards, Conexant Synaptics audio drivers, Realtek Bluetooth network adapters, Intel Optane memory, and other PC components. The extent of the shortcomings was such that Microsoft had to suspend<\/a><\/noindex> the rollout of a major update for problematic computers. What was the rush to release a problematic update package for the \"ten\"? Why hurry to launch a product that wasn't ready for a wide audience? There are many questions, but no answers to them.<\/p>\n

\"New<\/p>\n

According to experts, the root of the problem lies in the updated OS development scheme, which involves releasing major updates with new features twice a year. With such a Stakhanovite effort, you can't get very far. And can you really deliver a quality product when developers' efforts are not focused on fixing bugs, but on endless improvements to the \"Start\" menu and notification panel, adding new Fluent Design icons and expanding the collection of kaomoji emojis? What is the point of these cyclical rounds and tweaking the \"nuts\" in the system's user interface when programmers cannot cope with the aforementioned pile of problems? The \"ten\" has long been turned into a testing ground for experiments by Microsoft - and not very successful ones recently.<\/p>\n

Regardless of how you look at it, the picture is not very rosy. One can only hope that the series of scandals regarding Windows 10 updates will lead to improvements in Microsoft's software development practices. There are prerequisites for this. The corporation has already changed<\/a><\/noindex> its approach to testing new OS builds within the Windows Insiders program. Additionally, according to network sources, Microsoft's management is considering<\/a><\/noindex> serious changes to the strategy for releasing Windows 10 updates. If major updates currently come out in the spring and fall, the new schedule will imply only one such update per year. And that is the right approach.<\/p>\n

\u2193<\/a><\/noindex>#<\/a><\/noindex>Chasing two hares<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Interestingly, against the backdrop of clear failures with Windows 10, the company is actively engaging<\/a><\/noindex> the creation of the new Windows 10X platform, developed with a focus on dual-screen and foldable devices. The system is expected to feature a radically redesigned user interface and built-in support for virtualization to run Win32 applications. The first hardware solutions with Windows 10X onboard are anticipated. it is anticipated<\/a><\/noindex> in the spring of 2021. At one time, Microsoft already made unsuccessful attempts to establish a foothold in the mobile market with Windows 10 Mobile. Now, with the announcement of the \"ten\" for hybrid devices, the company intends to venture into adjacent territory and firmly believes in the success of its endeavor. Is it too soon?<\/strong><\/p>\n
