So did anyone get spring creators update?

better than forensics would be if ms would simply tell us what the heck is going on. I have been in this business for over 35 years, and i have never witnessed such inept corporate communication as what ms has been doing of late wrt to this update. All they would have had to do would be issue a statement saying "here's the blocking bug we discovered at the 11th hour, here's how we're going to fix it, here's how the sequence of new builds and/or cu's is going to look, and here's an approximate timeline". Then follow it up with daily status updates. People would be happy, ms would look sharp and proactive and focused. Instead, people are latching on to whatever some hack tech "journalist" comes up with, rumors of rumors, etc. It is really aggravating. Ms looks clueless, bumbling, less than forthright, etc. What is wrong with them?

oh so much agree!

What he said. For every enthusiast that wants it (the new build) there's likely another saying please leave me alone and don't force me to upgrade.

Hi,
There's not as many impulsive people out there to really care why the new update wasn't released opposed to people trying to limit these disruptive new builds from borking their work... flow :)

And for everyone of then there are several hundred or even millions who probably don't even know there is another update due, Microsoft will release as much information as they feel necessary if and when they feel it is necessary. You have to remember that the code is proprietary, and the issue could also be security related, so it's best that it's not in the open.

Anyone who has been involved with the production of proprietary code of any type will know that not only will the public not be told why there is an issue, staff who do not need to know will not be told either.

I have been involved with projects where privacy of new technology was so important the the circuit boards were all sprayed with several layers of paint so that the component details could not be seen by anyone

Area 51? That how you met Brink?

Area 51, that's just the public face of Black Ops with aliens
