Born, WZor: Win10 build 17763 declared RTM
Trying to nail the “final, final” version of Win10 1809 is a thankless task. Even if the latest build — number 17763 — has been signed off, and distribution to hardware manufacturers has begun, history tells us (or at least me) that there will be several cumulative updates before real customers will be running the final, final version.
I also wonder if the Thursday cumulative updates were backported error corrections, covering bugs fixed in 1809 and now finding their way back to 1803, 1709, 1703, and 1611.
WZor, the presumably Russian person/group that leaked many builds of Windows many years ago, posted his/her/its/their official announcement about 20 hours ago:
😜📢Microsoft's #OEM partners told me that on September 21, 2018, the final release of Windows Server 2019, Version 1809, #LTSC and #SAC was signed.
⚙️The release for #OEM partners will be based on build 17763. pic.twitter.com/YWXx9jZqdW— 🔮WZor👁️ (@WZorNET) September 23, 2018
Snazzy graphics, as usual.
Günter Born has an extended discussion, based on a discovery by Abbodi, that the Microsoft program WindowsUpdateBox (which I had never seen before) definitively nails the next version of Windows as file version 10.0.17763.1.
Your reading of the chicken entrails may vary from mine.
