Microsoft delays the launch of Windows Server 10 to sometime in 2016A new version of Windows for consumers tends to accompany a new version of Windows Server too. But this time around, it seems that Windows 10 won’t have its server counterpart launch alongside it as Microsoft has opted to delay Windows Server 10 (or Windows Server ‘Next’) to 2016.

Microsoft has also confirmed that it will be releasing a series of Windows Server and System Center previews over the coming months, indicating that the software giants will take the same approach to developing Windows Server 10 as it has done with Windows 10 thus far; feedback, feedback, feedback!
