The Windows 10 Anniversary Update for PC goes a long way in realizing Microsoft's vision of personal computing, but there are still some gaps. Luckily, Redmond shows no signs of slowing down.
On July 29, 2015, Microsoft released what many have called the final version of Windows (see our review). Even though it goes by the name Windows 10 (implying an '11' someday) the budding OS kicked off a deeper philosophical change: Windows as a Service, or WaaS, if you're hip.

One year later on August 2, 2016, Windows as a Service is put into practice with the release of the free Anniversary Update. What are the biggest changes and why should consumers bother?
