Hi, my team are developing desktop applications on Windows platform. We are requested to be more proactive in preparing for upcoming Windows upgrade.

However, I cannot find much information about Windows roadmap on the web. Please kindly advise.

Thank you.

Microsoft desktop class (full GUI) desktop will be more fancier color & greater feature meeting end user flavor.
Future OS desktop cloud (VDI) on-premises or public subscription. Probably next .. OS become hologram avatar via voice command.

As for server class be server role has no UI, just a ready command console (black color background & white text) with busy running background core services (containers).
Much focus on running web services or processing huge zeta-bytes of data or rendering graphics.

What's yours sharing for future OS ?

Really, testing for every issue, in every circumstance ever? You'll have a bad time as a developer as you'll never have a Windows product released!

Hi,

I don't believe there exists a roadmap for future releases, but there is a page that shows the lifecycle of the current Windows Server/Client releases:

Windows Server release information
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started/windows-server-release-info

Windows Client lifecycle fact sheet
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/13853/windows-lifecycle-fact-sheet

For Windows 10, feature updates will be released twice annually with a target of March and September.

March feature updates are serviced for 18 months from release date
September feature updates are serviced for 30 months from release date

Best regards,
Leon

Before doing anything please fix all the issues. I dear you to install a brand new machine with windows server 2016 , active the window search service and try to find application with that tool. It is useless.
