On Thursday, Microsoft announced that it will be pushing major updates to its Windows operating system twice a year (in March and September), to not only keep up with the market, but to also to help its enterprise users adopt the operating system at a faster pace.
The company just released its most recent version of Windows, the Windows 10 Creator's Update, and said the next feature update is currently targeted for release in September. The company will update its Office 365 ProPlus suite each time it updates Windows, too.
Microsoft hopes that this new change of pace will help its enterprise customers adopt Windows 10 and plan for the updates six months in advance. It says it will support each version of Windows for 18 months.
It could be one of the more feature-rich updates, at least more so than the Windows 10 Creator's release, since Microsoft is also pushing forward with new augmented-reality initiatives that are expected to work in tandem with Windows 10.

Google Home just stepped up its game with the Amazon Echo by adding multi-user support to the device.
This feature (now available in the U.S.) allows a family to use one device to deliver customized results for the individual user. The new feature is being assisted by a company called Neural networks. The company uses different characteristics of someone's voice to know who's speaking and when. The feature rolling out starting today to Google Home users in the U.S.
When a user sets up the feature, they will be required to say "OK GOOGLE" and "HEY GOOGLE" two times each. The setup will then let an individual speak to it under his or her own account.
The feature will recognize up to six users. The feature will be available in the United Kingdom in the coming months.
