Windows 10 Nor did it come in a final version on the market and we already hear speculation about the next major version of the operating system from Microsoft. Although we do not have specific details about what will be different in the new version, we have a name, inspired by the recent acquisition of those from Microsoft. Redstone seems to be the code name of the next Windows, its origin being probably the object with the same name in the popular game Minecraft. We usually find out about the code name of the operating systems from Microsoft before we know exactly what they are. Windows Vista bore Longhorn, Windows 7 it was called Vienna, Windows 8.1 was called Blue, again Windows 10 Threshold. Redstone is not the first code name of Microsoft taken from a video game. The project title of Windows 10 was extracted from Halo: Combat Evolved, one of the company's important games for Xbox and PC.
