One of the most circulated news about Microsoft's upcoming operating system is that it will be the last in its line.

In the on-going Ignite Conference in Chicago, company developer Jerry Nixon said, in one of his presentations covered by The Independent, "Right now we're releasing Windows 10, and because Windows 10 is the last version of Windows, we're all still working on Windows 10." 

Instead of coming up with a new version for the next time, Microsoft will instead improve on the existing Windows 10 structure and will release regular and automatic updates, already being done by the Windows Center. Most of today's apps and modern browsers also do this type of upgrading. The statement is almost confirmed by Microsoft.

In a statement released to The Verge, a Microsoft spokesperson stated, "Recent comments at Ignite about Windows 10 are reflective of the way Windows will be delivered as a service bringing new innovations and updates in an ongoing manner." 

When asked if Microsoft will instead do periodic micro updates, bringing in Windows 10.1 and so on, the spokesperson said, "We aren't speaking to future branding at this time, but customers can be confident Windows 10 will remain up-to-date and power a variety of devices from PCs to phones to Surface Hub to HoloLens and Xbox. We look forward to a long future of Windows innovations." 

Additionally, aside from having the upcoming Windows platform as a continuous service, Microsoft will also customize the way updates will roll out. Users will have control on when and how much an update they would like to initiate, and can either get the updates in a bundle or individually. This type of rollout is already being done for the mobile version of Office. 

The upcoming Windows 10 build is expected to arrive this summer and will be released globally on a staggered basis, with the PC version being the first to roll out.
