Microsoft goes all-out for enterprise with new Windows 10 update
- 9 years ago
Since the Windows 10 launch at the end of July, Microsoft has been providing small performance and security updates to the OS, but the company has largely kept new features at bay.
"With this free update we have reached the point in the platform's maturity where we can confidently recommend Windows 10 deployment to whole organizations," Terry Myerson, the head of Microsoft's Windows and Devices Group, wrote in a blog post.
It's an extension of Microsoft's own testing strategy with Windows 10: The company has a series of deployment rings both within and outside its walls that a new Windows update moves through in order to ensure that it's safe for consumption.
What's key about this is that it means people who buy a new device from a retail store that come with Windows 10 Home pre-installed can take it to their workplace IT department and get it hooked up to a mobile device management service that's built to manage Windows 10 devices.
