All Windows Devices Will Be Running On The Same Software Soon

There are so many different versions of the Windows operating system for all the different devices out there, and it is really confusing and sometimes even frustrating. Microsoft realizes that they may have made a 'booboo', so they are planning on fixing it. Pretty soon you won't have to worry about all of the different versions of Windows on all of your devices because they will all be running on the exact same one.

CEO Satya Nadella told analysts this big news during the company's quarterly earnings call this past Tuesday. It seems like a way better idea considering that all of the different versions of Windows out there all use the exact same code. One of the executives even came right out and said that there were too many different versions of Windows out there. All signs have been pointing in this direction for a while, but this is the first time that there was an official statement about it. They are finally going to turn the next version of Windows into a single converged operating system that will work on all platforms and screen sizes.

The CEO also said that all the work will be done in the next year. This puts the big change on schedule with the introduction of Windows 9 which is supposed to come out in sometime in 2015. This means that by the end of next year all of the Windows phones, tablets, laptops, desktops, and even the Xbox will all be running on the same system. All of the huge differences between the regular Windows OS and the ones on Windows phones won't exist anymore. The only difference between each device's operating system is going to be the size of the screen it's running on.

There will, however, still be different ways that the software will be packaged and marketed. There will still be the basic and Pro versions of Windows and there will still be special modifications for company owners and things like that. But either way, all of the software will be able to run the same apps, which is a big deal to Microsoft because they have already tried to do the whole Universal Windows App thing.

There are still a few questions that remain unanswered. We don't know how it will work on the Xbox, and we don't know if Windows Phones will have a desktop. The truth is that they don't even know yet, but there is a huge team of engineers working on figuring all of that out right now.

This will be the first time that a major platform creator has unified its operating system across all of their devices. Exciting stuff!
