Microsoft is planning to now release two big updates a year for Windows 10 with the next update codenamed Redstone 3, believed to be due around September.
What is interesting is the next update is rumoured to introduce tabs right across the operating system. This would work via windows explorer but also throughout win32 and UWP apps. Apparently it will work without any changes needed but API's will be released if developers want to take advantage of the new feature.
Do people think this is a good idea? There are lots of alternative explorer like file manager software out right now with many utilising a tabbed interface and there's already software to add tabs into windows. However it will be far handier if Microsoft do add this to Windows by default as I can see it being handy. I know a lot of people however dislike change so I do think they'd need a way to disable it to avoid something similar to the start menu fiasco that Windows 8 brought.
It also does add a big question - is Microsoft constantly playing catch up as many other systems have apparently offered this for years? They do however seem to be updating Windows far more than they used to. What do people think?

Also if you're interested in Windows 10, the next update is also introducing a fresher design currently called project neon which will include better animations.
