I'm okay with your monthly full build dream (useful when you frequently need to install clean Windows), but as a non Insider user (just a normal Windows 10 user), I expected to not to have to download full build every time my system needs to evolves (and be up-to-date). It was possible to integrate Service Packs to a Windows 7 image, for example, and tadah ! your Windows image was updated to the latest (and with some uncleaned old stuffs ). It won't be possible anymore ? Full upgrades will be the only one way, even for non Insiders users ? EDIT: MS said that Windows 10 will be the last major Windows. In fact, MS should say : "It will be the last Windows license you buy, and your OS will be full upgraded to a newer Windows system every 6 months".
We don't know exacly how frequently MS will release new Builds post-launch, but in their keynote they said: Win10 Enterprise has an LTS option for updates (long-term-support), which ONLY downloads security patches. No new features or builds. Meaning that Enterprise will probably stay on the initial Win10 build until MS migrates LTS to a new build 2-4 years down the line (kinda like MS does with service packs). Win10 Pro will have WU Branch for Business, which is a middle line between features and stability. They will periodically get new features/builds, but how often is anyone's guess. Win10 Home users are on the regular WU path, meaning they'll get feature builds the most frequently, to beta test them for Pro/Enterprise branches. And BEFORE Home users get updates, Insiders will test new features/builds, with Fast Ring users testing first, then trickling down to the Slow Ring, then WIn10 Home, Pro, and Enterprise probably won't see it until ~12 months down the line. This tiered system is how Linux has been running for years, where more bleeding-edge users can opt to get updates first (ex: running their Arch Linux system under Arch Testing instead of Stable), at the price of stability. For Windows 10, Insiders and Home users will be the guinea pigs for testing updates for enterprise. So the Win10 tiers=Fast Ring>Slow Ring>Home>WU Branch for Business>WU LTS for Enterprise (they might not see feature updates at all)
Thanks, that was clear bro. Now, I'm trying to know how Windows 10 will technically update its files. Excepted for Insiders, MS cannot provide a full upgrade each time a new core feature is available. That means that the build number of Windows 10 will probably change step-by-step through Windows Update patches (and not full upgrade). That also means that we can stay on this build for a long time, keeping it updated through Windows Update or with any manual integrations (online or offline). So: Maybe full upgrade will completely replace this 10176 build, BUT we will be able to keep this build up-to-date through Windows Update patches, and even future core features will be integrable to this leaked build, allowing this weird build to evolve.
Maybe, but we'll see. Regarding keeping this build up to date, Windows Update will probably stop providing updates after Oct 1st.
I hear there is an "inetpub" folder on the root of C: when this is installed? Anyone know why, and is it in use?
so why is it in 10176? Someone auto install/running a web server in this hackintrash? like a big ole fat backdoor ? lol
This folder can be safely deleted (inetpub). On the leaked build, IIS is not enabled on install. I would guess this was left behind after integrating the en-US files and capturing the install.
I am using the 10176 leaked build modified for en-us. I have been using this build since it came out. Something curious just happened to me - I received a notification asking for feedback on how I like this technical preview build. I am wondering, any possible indication that this might be the build they are pushing to insiders in the coming days?
