Windows 10: Microsoft Hints the Next Windows 10 Build Could Launch on Tuesday

Gabriel Aui also said there was one big bug which they wanted to fix before they release a new version to insiders, and they don't know how long it will take to fix it. I'd prefer a build at least as bug free as 9926 rather than ruin my 9926 installs. I don't have "extra" test devices lying around, so I'm using 9926 on my "production" laptop. I also want to know whether 9926 with updates is equivalent to the new release......

 

the bug was with Build 10036 no mail calendar or people app next build will be a higher numbered build

 

Morning, Mike! Hope your install is dual-boot or VM! As far as "I also want to know whether 9926 with updates is equivalent to the new release.....", any updates so far to 9926 have been security, bug patches, and one to update build path to "impressive". Not really any new release goodies. Cheers! And welcome to the forum! *Cool

 

Guess they didn't "make it" -- a Tuesday release, that is!

So, do we keep this thread and now hope for "next" Tuesday?

 

Could be but for some reason I doubt it.

 

I wonder if it's going to sometime today. I've noticed no Defender updates since yesterday.

 

I got one yesterday and today. I don't think today is the day and I doubt next week is either. Right now MS is pushing for a release date.

 

They have to put something out this week, or their credibility is going to be in the toilet. If worse comes to worst, just stick a new build number on 9926 and push that out as the new build ;-)

 

What is not a good idea?

 

Releasing the same build while changing the number. No offense meant as I was just posting my thought *Biggrin

 

How is it? These are Technical Previews, we're not pre-paying customers waiting for our overdue digital downloads. Why should they rush something out to appease a few people stamping their feet only to get thousands of people telling them about major bugs they're already well aware of (for those that even bother using the feedback tool)?

Microsoft's reputation won't be affected at all as the vast majority of people who will end up using Windows 10 don't even know that this testing phase is going on.

 

Dude, of course it's a bad idea. I was making a joke! Didn't you see the smiley?

OTOH, I'm not kidding about their credibility going into the toilet...

 

Here's how it is. Gabe Aul promised a release by the end of February, which got a lot of people in the most enthusiastic demographic that Windows has quite excited and getting prepared for it. Then, nothing for over 2 weeks. And all the talk about accelerated releases, but being unable to deliver. That's how it hurts their cred.

I don't say they should release buggy crap - I'm just saying that they are not able to deliver on what they've said they were going to do, and that hurts their credibility going forward. More communication about what's going on would be help.

 

MS can only deliver on what they can do not on a promise that they can't keep. If they can't clear up the bugs they're not going to dump a build. And in the long run they need to push for the release date and not focus on the preview right now. In my mind developing a great final product is far more important that dropping preview builds.
