Through this publication, Microsoft refers to the specifications that the ideal operating system should have for said products and what is striking, Although on the other hand expected, it is that at no time do they mention Windows 10. An indicator of the new path in the form of the OS that the company would adopt for the new range of terminals in which they would be working.

Of the ideal features, two stand out at Microsoft: silent updates and system securityIn reference to silent updates, they refer to a system that updates automatically, in the background and without the user noticing. And at the same time, seeking to avoid errors during the process.

On the other hand, security is becoming a fundamental aspect, especially with the continuous threats suffered by users on the network. This is how they talk about an operating system separated from the applications and always connected, either via Wi-Fi or with a data connection. That's where always-connected laptops come in.
