Windows 10 Anniversary Update To Roll Out On August 2

Posted by msmash on from the affinity-for-Windows-updates dept.

Windows 10's first major update -- dubbed Anniversary Update -- will be released to users on August 2, according to a blog post published by Microsoft (Archive link). The company presumably posted the blog post ahead of the original publication plans, and as a result, quickly pulled the story. Windows 10 Anniversary Update will bring with it a number of major changes including extensions to Edge, and improvements to Cortana and Hello biometric feature. It will also mark the end of the one-year free Windows 10 update offer for Windows 7 and Windows 8.x users.

    You're just jealous that Windows 10 users don't have to deal with Systemd and GNOME 3.

    No. It will still upgrade to Windows 10 but then encrypt the hard disk until you pay for the upgrade.
