Microsoft hints at new modern Windows OS with ‘invisible’ background updates

We’ve seen various promises about Windows Updates being improved over the years, but Microsoft is now promising that “modern OS updates are invisibly done in the background; the update experience is deterministic, reliable, and instant with no interruptions!” Some of these hints at a modern OS could already apply to Windows as it exists today, but Microsoft also describes its focus on “enabling cloud-connected experiences that use the compute power of the cloud to enhance users experiences on their devices” for this modern OS. A modern OS has the right sensor support and posture awareness to enable the breadth of innovative form factors and applications that our partner ecosystem will deliver

Microsoft was rumored to be discussing plans for dual-screen devices and Windows Lite at the company’s Build conference earlier this month.
