IDG Contributor Network: Microsoft pushes ahead with Redstone 3, the next big Windows 10 update
The Creators Update to Windows 10 hasn’t begun wide rollout yet, but already Microsoft is pushing out test builds of Redstone 3, the next major update to the operating system due sometime this fall.
The Creators Update was initially called Redstone 2, and last year’s Anniversary Update was simply codenamed Redstone. This third update will feature some ambitious new technologies, some of which Microsoft tried to have ready for Creators Update but could not pull off.
