I just followed this link, which said it was in the Microsoft News Center Press releases, and in the News Center there is nothing about it. Maybe it got pulled....

Oops, looks like Windows 10 Anniversary Update is arriving later than planned

If true I'm glad that MS pushed back the release date. I don't mind waiting until MS feels that it's ready to release. MS and Windows 10 gets enough complaints.

 

The Next Web Microsoft announced Windows 10 Anniversary Update Release Date Windows Central Microsoft may have let the launch date slip for the Windows 10 Anniversary Update The Verge Microsoft says Windows 10 Anniversary Update is coming August 2nd
All say pretty much the same thing:

Microsoft published a blog post earlier today that included only a headline,
"Microsoft announces Windows 10 Anniversary Update available Aug. 2,"
and then pulled the story moments later.

It's possible that Microsoft just got the date wrong, but, more likely than not, Microsoft seems to have just clicked the publish button earlier than it meant to.

Presumably, a formal announcement will come soon.

 

Maybe we the Insiders found a few bug that needs to be fixed and MS needed to push the date back to give them time to fix and test first.

 

You're probably right on both counts, Winuser

 

Happens all the time... Business always rules deployment...which is not necessary wrong if IT confirms milestones have been met, but there is always some niggling bug that surfaces last minute.. the.decision then is go with the 80/20 rule or delay implementation... welcome to the wonderful world of development. *Wink

 

This is really bad news for me. sfc /scannow reports corrupt files and dism cant repair it so I was going to wait until 16th to format. I dont really want to format sooner if I can avoid it.

 

Lots of reasons for project creep

... the manager who signs off on the release doesn't get back from vacation until 1 August

... MS thought it wasn't a good idea to push the start (1607 begins - uh-oh hold the presses that makes it the 1608 release - new glossies / new websites ..... they'll never make the 2nd now) button to stop (free upgrade ends)

... some high ranking employee didn't like the colors and insisted they had to be changed.

... typos Microsoft is displayed as Mricosoft

... 160802 .... 16 divided by 8 = 2

*Tongue

 

Now that would be funny. *Smile

 

Hang on, from the original anniversary date of Friday 29th July 2016 forward to Tuesday 2nd August 2016.

Sounds like they don't want their support staff working overtime at the weekend, rather than just some bug that needs a couple more days to fix.

Especially since we are talking over a month into the future and it's already been said that the RTM release for 12-14 July and that for fast track insiders will be on 15th July 2016 for Rs1 1607.

 

Or Microsoft is displayed as Minecraft. lol. *chuckle
