Windows 10: #MSIgnite 2021: Panos Panay teases 'next generation of Windows' coming

Brink · Mar 2, 2021

In a fireside chat with Microsoft's Chief Product Officer, Panos Panay and Corporate VP & Product Manager, Roanne Sones, Panay briefly talks about Windows and the future of the platform, teasing that he's pumped about what's coming next but that Microsoft is not ready to talk about it just yet.

In the 15 minute one-on-one, Panay and Sones answer questions presented to them in the style of a WIRED auto-complete interview powered by Bing. The last question poised to Panay is "What is the question Panos gets asked the most?" Sones says it must be "Why?" in regards to Windows, and Panay responds with the following:

Windows is such an important platform, for connecting people, helping people be as productive as they possibly can be. It is the heart beat right now of what is modern work. It really is, just take a step back. But it's also the heart beat of what we do every day in our lives. It's familiar, it's intuitive, it adapts to you. These are really important elements.

This is a product right now that more than a billion people all over the world are relying on every day, to work, to learn ... and ultimately to create. And that's what this is about, how we continue to see where technology can take us versus what it does for us today and where is it that we will be and how can technology be there for you, Windows is the core of that.

It's there to light up Microsoft 365 experiences, it's there to light up the devices for OEMs, but most importantly like we talked about it's there for people to connect, create, and ultimately be productive as they need to. We have new features comingâhere I got to tell you thisâlook and I haven't talked about the next generation of Windows and what's coming next, but I can tell you I am so pumped. We're not talking about that today."

... because we have so much right now, we talked about the depth of features and the breadth of what Windows can bring for each of you for IT Pros ... I know that the future of Windows is incredible, what we're bringing to the table for sure. But ultimately we're here today to talk about Windows 10 and what Windows 10 brings to the table, and how we can support our customers and partners here at Ignite.

It's interesting to see Panay refer to the future of the product as "the next generation," which could imply that big changes are on the horizon for the platform.

Panos Panay teases the Surface Phone on Twitter

Patents, rumours, exclusive reports, leaks and a few fumbles by Microsoft itself have all but confirmed the existence of the foldable device known within the company as Andromeda - and to many enthusiasts, as the Surface Phone. This week, however, we got as close as we ever will to an official tease of the device by Microsoft's Corporate Vice President of Devices, Panos Panay.

Taking to Twitter, Panay thanked the folks at LG Display with the photo of two wooden photo frames conjoined by a hinge, akin to what most Surface Phone concepts have envisioned the device will look like. In the left frame is a caricature of Panay thanking the LG Display team pictured on the right...
