New word from Microsoft shows that Windows 10 is about to get a big makeover. Yes, in the wake of MacOS Big Sur, which got a very iOS-like new look, it looks like Microsoft is about to breathe a lot of new life into Windows 10 in the 2021 H2 Sun Valley update.
Sun Valley’s redesign news was first leaked in October, but it was a rumor where sources spoke anonymously. Now we’ve heard it from Microsoft itself. Windows Latest sees a post for a position in Windows that openly boasts the upcoming changes to Windows 10.
According to Windows Latest, the post for a senior software engineer originally said the following – which has since been erased from the post: “In this team, you work with our partners to orchestrate a comprehensive visual rejuvenation of Windows experiences and show our customers that Windows is BACK and to ensure that Windows is considered the best user OS experience for customers. “
Note that the capital letters give ‘BACK’ indicating that Microsoft is ready to launch a serious advertising campaign on the rebirth of the operating system. Recent Windows 10 updates have not exactly yielded many changes facing consumers, and we’ve seen more news about Control Panel changes than anything else.
What are the key elements of Windows 10? The original leak suggested that we see a new Start menu, File Explorer, Action Center and even some customizations in Windows 10X.
Since the text has been removed from this job description, there is reason to wonder if they have already fulfilled the role responsible for the Windows 10 Sun Valley interface updates, and they move on to an equally important issue of quality assurance.
A better Windows 10?
But if we look at the current version of the post, we can not help but read between the lines with a bit of the job description. It reads: “In this team, you will orchestrate and deliver experiences that ensure that Windows is an excellent user experience for our customers,” and that “you will have the opportunity to build great, polished experiences for Windows.”
It subtly strikes something that brings us to our annual list of the biggest tech failures: Microsoft needs to fix the Windows 10 bug fixes. The operating system these days seems to be getting more attention for errors than anything else.
However, the job description is what the company should always strive for, but we hope Microsoft is just as tired of hearing reports of faulty Windows 10 updates as users want it to be.
