New Delhi: Microsoft has confirmed that it intends to merge different versions of its Windows operating systems into one. This was announced by Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella during the company's quarterly earnings call.
Nadella told analysts that the company would "streamline the next version of Windows from three operating systems into one single converged operating system," that would cover all screen sizes.
Microsoft currently runs three different major versions of its OS - Windows, Windows Phone and Xbox - and the direct beneficiary of this move would be the developers for whom it would be easier to build apps to run on multiple devices. This relative ease of app development and OS consolidation would also finally benefit users.
The next version of Windows is rumoured to be the Windows 9, expected to be launched in 2015.
