zdnet.com - I think that things are not as clear cut as that, and I believe that Windows "Blue" represents an effort on Microsoft's part to change the way we think of Windows and its update cycle.
One idea that we can dispel for sure is any notion that Windows "Blue" is a "new" version of Windows. It is not, and if nothing else, the version number being kicked up to 8.1 should remind us of that. Even Microsoft is referring to this release as "Windows 8.1". There's no way Microsoft could push a new version out of the door yearly.
The cloud storage platform will drop support for older versions of Windows in early 2022.
Microsoft just confirmed that Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 operating systems won’t get any new updates for AMD Ryzen and Intel 7th Gen processors.

Microsoft is tweaking its support cut-off dates again for Intel Skylake-based devices so that users can continue to get security updates until Microsoft's original end-of-support dates.
