Microsoft, stop feeding bugs to a billion Windows 10 users. Heres how

▤ Summary

The idea was simple: Each new Windows 10 version would go out to the public (the Current Branch), but Microsoft would throttle its release and use its telemetry capabilities to monitor for issues. ) As my colleague Mary Jo Foley reported in May 2017, part of the stated reason was to "align the patching and updating strategies for Windows 10 and Office moving forward. Regardless of what you call them, the notion of having two release channels recognizes a fundamental reality of how Windows updates work on an installed base of more than a billion devices. Add some settings to Windows Update so every customer can choose the Stable release and not be offered that early version with its greater likelihood of hitting bugs. This doesnt have to replace Microsofts AI-driven delivery plan, which tries to predict which devices are most likely to have a positive upgrade experience and prioritizes them to receive updates earlier than other machines.
