Windows 10 is on a rolling release schedule so they are essentially going to service pack it forever until they get bored of the name or die

they had to change the rolling release scheme for 2020 because the YYMM one would result in a march 2020 release of Windows Server being named Windows Server 2003

it is really weird that consumer office 365 doesn't just include a (few) windows license(s) while at it. few people that need it, but sort of convenient to have an extra license, and certainly a good deal for microsoft looping people into being entirely reliant on the subscription.

i still really want to know A) who was pushing so hard for the "One" branding across Microsoft (OneDrive, OneNote, Xbox One, etc) and B) how mad were they when Windows pivoted from Windows 1 to Windows 10 (because I'm still convinced that was the original plan) and Office stubbornly did its own thing as always

microsoft's divisions don't talk to each other. any branding similarity is entirely coincidental.

windows 10 will stay windows 10, just like like OS X (10) stayed OS X for generations, except apple DID give it a new fake name of MacOS, but come on, it's still OS X
