Windows Polaris is the code name of the operating system that will replace Windows 10. Here is what we know so far
As much as we can update it every month, by downloading and installing all its problematic updates, Windows 10 is an old operating system. Available from the end of July 2015, Windows 10 is already five years old but in reality, it has many more: it is, in fact, the heir and the evolution of Windows 8.1, and even before Windows 7 and Vista.
But to be honest, if we look at the interface and the basic setting we could go back to Windows XP, an operating system that a teenager of today has never used. And this, in the long run, could become a big problem for Microsoft which, in the meantime, must continue to develop the operating systems of its Xbox consoles, wearable devices such as HoloLens and future mobile devices Surface, even folding. The solution to these challenges? There are actually three: Windows Core OS, Windows Polaris, Andromeda OS. None of this is official, but all this is being talked about more and more insistently.
Windows Core OS
The only official track of Windows Core OS is the Linkedin profile Naim Ayat, a Microsoft engineer who describes his work as follows: “ I am in the Windows Core OS development team: the basis of future versions of Windows 10, Windows Mixed Reality (HoloLens ) and the Xbox operating system . ” Windows Core OS, as far as we know at the moment, will be the heart of Microsoft’s future operating systems: unique for all OS, to be customized with special modules based on where it will be installed. The two main implementations of Windows Core OS will be Windows Polaris and Andromeda OS.
Windows Polaris
Again according to rumours, Windows Polaris is the future heir of Windows 10 Home: an operating system dedicated to home computers, much slimmer than the current Windows 10 and with a more attractive and immediate interface for young people. Apps like Notepad and Paint should disappear, as will fax support, while the old Control Panel should be replaced by a more modern and functional Settings app. Similar fate for File Explorer. Still many doubts if, together with these small changes, a much larger one will come: the end of support for 32-bit apps.
Andromeda OS
Andromeda OS will be the operating system dedicated to mobile devices with alternative form factors. So the various types of folding and dual screens. Also based on the core of Windows Core OS, it will bring big news in terms of the user interface. It has long been the subject of the most disparate leaks but, at the moment, very little is known about this operating system.
