[DISCUSSION] Windows 10 Build 10162

my point is that they don't need more feedback to finalize RTM, not they won't need it for the next 1000 years, if they did they would have pushed out more builds this week.

Okay. But, I am still sending out feedback(likewise other Windows Insiders) and there is evidence some of them are received and approved.

 

Unless they are just going to give up on getting 10 out by July 29th there is no chance any feedback this week will make it into RTM, that would mean a whole new set of builds and testing for each.

 

Perhaps, the minor ones can be quickly forestalled and included in the RTM. I think we have seen some changes made to Insider Previews within a short period of time. The last releases are testaments to that. It is arguably what is going to happen if they are going to use the feedback to make some changes to it before on the 29th of July. My guess is they may come as updates before or after the RTM.

 

You saw them in test builds and I agree they could do that but to make it to RTM they woyuld first have to write it if that is what is involved, then incorporate into builds internally at least and thoroughy test the change before then building a new RTM RC and going through all the testing that would involve. There is just no time to do that and get it out within their schedule which includes getting it to the OEMs in time to make some new PCs.

 

RTM could be today; 9th or the 13th July.

 

If I were MS I wouldn't RTM on a 13th ... no no never

 

Don't they already have some rule about 13?

 

yep, they have: If you can divide a build No by 13 it never will be RTM

 

I divided a Vista DVD into 13, didn't fix it, but made me feel a hell of a lot better

 

Most large corporations also have rules about making major decisions or policies on Sundays as well for a whole host of reasons one being that it may not be legal. Of course writing off on RTM may never face a court but I doubt they would take the chance.

 

In what world do you live in where making a decision on a Sunday is illegal?

 

Can't remember which, I think Greece (Maybe Italy) it is illegal to work on a weekend (See a Top Gear Episode)

 

many places in the USA still have Blue Laws that no business can be open on Sunday

 

I'm speaking more about contracts, and that would be this world..but because anything can be dragged into court these days corporations just avoid the whole thing.

 

And many countries, the same is true for Fridays and Saturdays too depending on what country you live in...

 

Yep, no Office v13, no Visual Studio v13 (but, interestingly, there was a Visual C++ compiler v13). That a tech company can be so superstitious... stargazers and religious people, OK, but software engineers?

 

Serving certain legal papers on Sunday is illegal in some states. City marshals will not serve evictions on Sunday. In some towns in some states, you can't buy alcohol on a Sunday.

Those pesky city laws.

:MJ

 

I can just remember the episode where the cops stopped them for filming on a weekend, and the cops said they could keep filming, so long as it was not work lol
