• Win10 version 1809 – the October 2018 Update – didn’t arrive in October. But that’s likely been the plan for several weeks.

    I hear lots of jeers about Microsoft’s inability to ship Win10 1809 in October.

    But I don’t hear any criticisms for waiting.

    Back on Oct 25, I posted an article in Computerworld which ended with:

    When will Win10 version 1809 drop? Er, re-re-drop? Good question. Given the indications mentioned before, I think Microsoft is (finally!) taking quality more seriously. Whether that will result in the “October 2018 Update” being released in October is anybody’s guess. Don’t forget that the last version, the “April 2018 Update” — shipped on the last day of April.

    The only hint I’ve seen comes from the sole Answers Forum post acknowledging the data-destroying Zip bug:

    Microsoft is working on a resolution and estimates a solution will be available in early November for this issue.

    Which would seem to indicate that 1809 isn’t coming back to haunt us in time for Halloween. That’s too bad because I really want to see an “E Week” patch.

    Hey, you can poke Microsoft in the ribs for missing the deadline. Personally, I think they’re doing The Right Thing.
