Microsoft will begin the rollout of Windows 10 on desktop PCs later this summer. However, during the media press event at BUILD 2015, Microsoft’s Joe Belfiore explained that they are adapting the phone experiences later than they are including the PC experiences, which means that the company is taking its time to complete the mobile version of Windows 10 — therefore we will see the release on a later date. Belfiore also confirms that many devices and features will not arrive on launch date, but soon after. Microsoft’s focus is to get Windows 10 for desktop ready as quickly as possible and other devices such as phone, Xbox, Surface Hub, and HoloLens will show up in a later date. This is not a surprising move, Windows 8.1 shipped first on PC and later on phones, so it seems Microsoft continues with the same plan. The software giant also said that various features won’t make it in time of the launch of Windows 10. Microsoft’s Joe Belfiore didn’t say which features will be cut off at launch, but he mentioned that features will continue to roll out as soon as summer and more will arriving during fall. Microsoft Edge, the new web browser, for example, will include support for extensions just like FireFox and Chrome, but they won’t be available at launch, Microsoft plans to add the functionality after Windows 10 launches. In addition, we have yet to see the new Skype integration in the operating system, as such this could one of those features that won’t be making a debut later this summer. While the company is approaching the finish line with Windows 10, it seems that it’s still not ready to share the specific launch date, although previously AMD’s CEO, Lisa Su, revealed that it could happen in late July. It’s been a long journey for the next generation of Windows and there is still a long way to go, but seeing the Microsoft plans, we can only expect faster updates, new apps, and new features rolling out constantly after Windows 10 launches.
