Microsoft is reportedly working on a next-generation operating system with a strong focus on biometric security. It appears that Synaptics and AMD are working with Microsoft on this platform, and it could be a new Azure Sphere OS.

The next-generation OS is being referred to as “Microsoft’s forthcoming biometric security OS including Windows Hello” in a press announcement.

According to the press release, it would bring us “a new industry benchmark in highly-secure biometric fingerprint authentication for enterprise/commercial and consumer notebook PCs based on next-generation AMD Ryzen Mobile platform and Microsoft’s next-generation operating system.”

It’s worth noting that Microsoft hasn’t confirmed anything yet and we have no idea about  exactly what the next-generation operating system from Microsoft is supposed to be. What’s more important to know is that Microsoft is actively involved in the development of projects that are not related to Windows 10.

The Redmond-based tech is working on several projects in this regard and if the reports are beleived to be true, the next-generation OS could be Polaris that is part of the rumoured Windows Core OS. Polaris is a shell for desktops and it was supposed to allow Win32 applications through virtualization.
