• Bott: Windows 10 Update Rules Change Like a Game of Calvinball

    Posted on October 18, 2017 at 11:51 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    Feel frustrated by all the changing Win10 nomenclature, processes and paradigms? Believe me, you aren’t alone.

    Just yesterday, @teroalhonen pointed me to the new Win10 Release Information site, where I noticed a key, subtle change.

    Up until yesterday, the “Microsoft recommends” bullet on the right was located next to the “Semi-Annual Channel” entry. Until yesterday, it was the only official visual clue I had to what used to be “Current Branch for Business.” Now, it appears, Microsoft is recommending that Win10 business users install a one-day-old version of Win10 — a remarkable recommendation, given the past two years’ admonitions that it takes about four months for new versions to stabilize.

    Ed Bott has a great new article in RedmondMag wherein he likens the make-it-up-as-you-go-along nature of Windows 10 to the MIUAYGA heart of the Calvin & Hobbes classic Calvinball.

    Highly recommended.
