However, it’s does not mean that the work is over, we already know that Microsoft is working in the next version of the operating system codenamed “Redstone”, and it will be a more significant update than Threshold 2. Furthermore, in the latest cumulative update (KB3118754) that the company rolled out for Windows 10, we start to see that Microsoft is already preparing computers in the Windows Insider Program to receive the first Redstone build. As it has been reported that KB3118754 enrolls computers to the “rs1_release” by adding a few entries in the registry.

Previous rumors also suggest that Microsoft is planning to improve Continuum bringing similar functionality like the Apple’s OS X Continuity that will allow deeper integration of Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile.

As for the first Redstone build, Microsoft has released the Windows 10 November update, as such it’s not sharing any details at this time, but there is a solid chance that we could be seeing the first Redstone build by the end of the year.
