JUNE 2020 PCWorld 31sometime in May, so we know that Microsoft
updated features like the Windows Subsystem
for Linux and Cortana without adding new
functionality.
“The May 2020 Update is just the first
step,” Panay wrote. “As a team, we are
committed to delivering meaningful
innovation in ways that matter most to the
billion people around the world relying on
Windows right now. That is why, in this
holiday and the next, we are going to
accelerate innovation in Windows 10 to
ensure that Windows devices are the best
way to work, learn and play. We are going to
make important improvements in every one of
those areas.”
What those improvements are, and when
they’ll arrive, aren’t known. Microsoft has
wrestled with the tension between
enterprises and some consumers, some of
which have argued for fewer, less frequent
changes and thus potential bugs. Others have
welcomed new additions, feeling that
Windows 10 has grown stale.
Interestingly, Panay highlighted some of the
lesser-known additions to the Windows 10 May
2020 Update: the improved tablet experience,
drag-and-drop functionality to the Eye Control
gaze tracker, and the additional kaomoji to the
Windows keyboard. We’ll have to see if those
types of features are the new additions Panay
will champion going forward.Panay highlighted some of the lesser-known additions to the Windows 10 May 2020 Update, such as the
