It is now being reported in the IT press, TechRadar for one, that Microsoft is considering releasing a new version of Windows every three years by rolling up some of their larger annual updates and improvements (i.e. fixes) and calling it Windows xx. This comes on top of other suggestions that the next version of Windows will require an SSD as the boot device which might seem encouraging but most disheartening a week ago while looking for a school laptop for a granddaughter. Most had between 32 - 128GB eMMC storage and ran in Windows S mode with nothing more than USB for expansion. Peter
