Windows Mobile operating system 10 is going through a transition phase: on the one hand the development work is not interrupted and continues recording important goals (see the new features introduced with the latest build Insider Preview), on the other hand Microsoft has slowed the production rate and sales of new W10M smartphone, giving appointment to 2017 for more substantial news. Future 10 Windows Mobile smartphone will have not only a hardware refurbished, but a new version of the operating system that will introduce support for 64-bit.
In confirmation of what has been reported, it intervenes a recent article published by Microsoft to honor Dave Cutler, Microsoft Technical Fellow. Specifically, recalling the work done by Cutler in guiding the transition to Windows from 32-bit to 64-bit, Microsoft says:
In March 2005, he completed one of his most rewarding parts of the job at Microsoft, when collaborating with AMD, helped develop the AMD64 architecture (64-bit extensions to the 32-bit x86 architecture) and led the work for the first two versions of 64-bit Windows x64 systems (workstations and servers). At that time many wondered why Microsoft had developed a 64-bit system; Today most computers are 64-bit systems and even our smartphones will soon have a 64-bit operating system.
A clear and explicit confirmation, with a reference that can only be to the Windows 10 Mobile. The advantages of the 64-bit system, since the addressing mode of the memory that offers the possibility to manage a greater quantity of 4GB of RAM, the consumer will be appreciated not only by the user, but also by the business enterprise and, thanks to the possibility, for example, to exploit the benefits in terms of safety with respect to the 32-bit version. A physiological alignment with the proposals of the competition which has long provided support to 64-bit for Android and iOS.
The SoC systems currently built into Windows Mobile devices 10 high-end - Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 and Snapdragon 810 - are 64-bit and theoretically able to handle the future 64-bit version of Microsoft's mobile operating system, but not it is said that they are permitted forms of upgrades for the models currently on the market. The next generation W10M devices, on the contrary, likely to be using Windows Mobile 10 64-bit - and thoughts turn to the much talked-Surface Phone. Still to prove the hypothesis arrival to 64-bit version to coincide with the 10th Anniversary Windows Update, the next major update of the operating system deskotp and Microsoft's mobile.
