Windows 10 Needs Its Own Snow Leopard Moment

It’s time to chase reliability instead of shiny new features.

There’s no question that Windows 10 is better than Windows 8. Even after launch, it continues to improve by leaps and bounds, thanks to a rapid update cadence never seen before in the history of the world’s most used operating system.

Much of this is a result of Microsoft’s change in its Windows strategy. With Windows 10, Microsoft has shifted from a perpetual licensing model that requires you to pay for a new license whenever a major upgrade comes around to a Windows as a service model that provides patches and adds new features continually for the lifetime of your device.
