This plan is also said not to have been drawn up after the Windows Insider team switched to further development of the Windows update in the home office as a result of the crown pandemic. Mary Jo Foley reports it on ZDNet. He had previously learned from internal sources that Microsoft had postponed the release of the Windows 10 May 2020 update to the last week of May. Now Foley reports that Microsoft, like last year, splits the two planned versions of Windows for new features to appear in the spring, while the fall version only improves and expands on existing features.
Corona messages are just a click away in 20H2
So you only get better in the fall
Microsoft had last year that the fall 2019 update was something of an exception. The November update of Windows 10 was the first biannual update to Windows 10 that brought hardly any innovations. Many users were upset and expected many changes in the next versions.
Instead, we now have the situation that the new features no longer seem to be version-bound, but at least partially start on a certain date for earlier versions of Windows 10. For the end user, it’s getting darker what Expect from the big biannual updates. The incentive to update before it is absolutely necessary (i.e. at the end of support) is correspondingly low.
The new / old upgrade plan
Reminder: Last year, the Windows development team had changed as follows. One of the questions asked during the presentation was:
“Will we see this cycle every year now? Major feature update on H1, more minor feature updates on H2, a cumulative update for both?”
Microsoft responded to this as follows:
“Delivering the 19H2 feature update via a cumulative update and an activation package is a pilot project. There is no formal plan to deliver future versions in the same way. We are closely monitoring the feedback and look forward to learning from this version to influence our future plans. ”
The actual question was not answered, perhaps it was not clear at the time either. If the ZDNet information is now true, the answer for 2020 is “yes”.
