The question is, does that still hold for Windows 10? They appear to want to roll out new builds - official new stable builds - more ofter and it doesn't make sense to jump with 400 every time again like they did in the past. They might have gotten rid of this rule. Also, it isn't required to be multiple by 100. Windows 8 was first planned to get build number 8888 but they couldn't do that because they where already beyond 8888 and they realized that it couldn't de devided by 16. 100 isn't a rule.
They don't need to jump 400 nos every time, for GDR's all they would do is to change the delta. The problem is, this 16 and 100 multiple rule was contained in the QFE(quick fix engineering) standing procedures for developing hotfixes/updates, and that's what happened for build 8888, in the sign-off test-run of 8888 they got an epic QFE f**k-up, and had to change the RTM no. to 9200. If they wish to get rid of this rule, they have to start to develop afresh a new QFE standing procedure, and go thru a whole series of test-runs, that would be another major pain.
Tks, man, actually I don't care too much about avatars, anyway I think I've seen a number of people using that one as avatar already.
must be a fairy tale since Gabe mentioned that there will be no 10130 by this week since it is still in an internal ring. To me it looks like a new build is due sometimes next week
I believe they would release a build as soon as they resolved the "blocking bug" for win7/8.1 upgrade to win10, maybe it's 10130, or some other build, who knows?
thought they already fixed it by an update? If not, they certainly will do their homework first and then release something new for us. If it will be 10130 or other build, I don't care
