Microsoft will integrate different versions of Windows in a single system

Immediately it should be said that it is not about how to "merge» Windows 95 and Windows 8.1, for example, does not.

Satya Nadella announced the intention to merge Windows OS for different platforms in a single unified system.

Prerequisites for this course of events were planned in April, when the company announced a package of tools for developers, dubbed the "Holy Grail". This package allows you to create a unified application that can run on multiple platforms, including Windows, Windows Phone, Xbox.

But now Microsoft is going to even more significant changes, and integrates three major versions of Windows OS in a unified operating system, which is well suited to the expression "one size fits all."

«We will form a new version of Windows from the three operating systems in a single consolidated operating system for displays of all sizes," - said the current head of Microsoft.

According to Satya Nadella, previously various development team designed the various Windows versions for different platforms. Now disparate team to team with a common architecture. This allows you to talk about creating a Universal Windows Apps. & Quot;

As for the different versions of the same operating system, Microsoft will sell versions of type Windows Pro edition, Windows Enterprise edition, and others. But the "inside" - a single system.

Also, the corporation is going to unify their stores, marketing strategy and platform for developers.

Presumably we will see a consolidated Windows with Windows 9, which should appear in 2015.
