Windows 10: “Next Chapter of Windows” is coming

Many of you would be wondering about that when the next test build of windows 10 will be landing. Hopefully, the answer is Wednesday, January 21st next year as Microsoft has announced the press event on the date of January 21st namely (for the chronicle), “next chapter of windows”.

Windows 10: The Next Chapter of Windows

This press event, in whole, will be presented by a number of Microsoft officials, namely, Satya Nadella (CEO of Microsoft), Terry Myerson (EVP of Microsoft’s Operating Systems Group (OSG)), Joey Belfiore (CVP, OSG) and Phil Spencer (Head of Microsoft’s Xbox division and Microsoft Studios).

As Neowin mentioned in their article, that, Mr. Spencer’s involvement likely points towards gaming or Xbox relations to Windows 10 during the event. Likewise, Joe Belfiore’s presence surely indicates a discussion on the field of the smartphone space, where Microsoft is certainly looking forward to focus its talent in.

Now coming to the new release, it may not be called the consumer preview but may be called January Technical Preview and could be part of a new release cycle where the company pushes out a new release each month. Microsoft is currently testing the new version of the NT Kernel that has certainly jumped from NT 6.4 to NT 10, via its internal Build 9888, which leaked about a week ago. The build incorporates some changes which certainly look to be planned, which include a revised Setting app which includes a new search bar, unified menu features, and new windows animations.

In addition to all the other changes, a beta build of the Cortana voice assistant app is also coming to Windows 10. Some things that Cortana can do have been shown in the video below:

So, all the testers or the Windows users who want to get a taste of the new build of Windows 10 should wait until January 21^st or whenever Microsoft chooses to officially release the build. And after all the announcements made, as Neowin says, it does looks like that January 21^st is going to be a very busy day.
