Microsoft to reportedly focus on security and AI in next version of Windows

Microsoft is working on a new "modern" version of Windows with better security and faster updates, according to Windows Central. The initiative, called CorePC, would allow Windows to scale better for different devices while still supporting legacy apps. CorePC would aim for many of the same goals as the scrapped Windows Core OS (including the also canceled Windows 10X), which Microsoft billed as a modular modernization of its OS. CorePC would use "state separation" and split Windows into multiple partitions, similar to iOS and Android. This could make it harder for malware to infect the system while making updates faster. "The current version of Windows is not a state-separated platform, meaning the entire system is installed into a single writable partition," explains Windows Central.
