Are you saying RS4 will be released in Feb? This seems unlikely. When we get clarity on RS4/RS5? I should probably try the Regedit hack to see if I can't get back to Skippy since I was bounced off a few builds ago.

March. Their targets are now set for March and September every year (for as long as they decide to stick to this plan, anyway).

If the 17600 series is RS5 then the 18000 series should be the Fall 2018 RS6 series. But I predicted the next build would either be 93 or 94. We probably should think either of those would be released after the bug bash has concluded. I think whoever said 94 as the last rs4 might be right but the 4 digits at the end might be something like 17094.1001 or 1002. But the numerology is a bit murky. We will know more after the bug bash.

And yes the reghack worked to put me back for the moment on Skip ahead.

You're probably right on the 1001/2 thing....

I do not think I will bother with RS5 Skip ahead based on last time. It was a damp squib as nothing was introduced early of any significance. Maybe if they open Sets to all Insiders on skip ahead, I might change my position.

I still will.

Well, the did cancel Sets until Rs5. Hope they are working on them right now.

Good point. I certainly hope so as well....

Not to the public, Marty. But we Insiders will get it to whip into final shape for release to the public in March. Once that's accomplished, we'll get to start on Redstone 5 ...

I got out of the Skip Ahead thing almost as soon as I joined it. I'm content to work with regular Builds.

Well anyone who bet that 17094 was the last rs4 build (including me) was wrong. This build just appeared

10.0.17095.1000 (rs4_release.180204-1213)

Surely the final build can't be created until after the Bug Bash is finished.

Right. The earliest the next build will appear will be Valentine's Day (Wed. 2/14) which would be a nice target for D.S. We will see

:)

Considering the date on which the build 16299 was compiled, I think that the final build of RS4 will be between 17135 and 17140 or even a higher number.

By the way, since Saturday the Edge favorites bar is working perfectly, as it is supposed to work, that is, it only appears in the start page and new tabs and it auto-hide in the rest of the pages, just as it works in Chrome, some will remember that I wrote several comments about this, the strange thing is that I did absolutely nothing, it just started working like that from one moment to another, it's as if Microsoft will activate and deactivate this feature via server, sounds absurd but who knows.

Interesting. Buildfeed.net shows that as a pre-release, whereas it showed 17094 as release.
