All done and dusted. Strange there were no reboots after the initial one I clicked on. Nothing at 30% and 75% as usual.

I had that on 18334 too,

Sadly creative sound-card issue is not fixed, still only recognises SPDIF output

still no fix for Internet Explorer Menu problem

I doubt MS is going to fix anything related to Internet Explorer unless it affects Windows 10 itself.

Has anyone thought through the timelines of all this starting with the 20H1 release?

-SA 20H1 testing: over the next six months or so (Feb '19-Sep '19), maybe longer?
-Fast 20H1 testing: Fall '19-Spring '20?

It would seem that major releases will be tested twice, by two different sets of people, in radically different time periods (there may be no testing overlap at all, or very little at most).

Good, I guess, since it widens the testing window dramatically, allowing more problems to be caught. I think. But I don't think it's going to leave a whole lot for Fast to do once SA is done with a release, right? For Fast users, it would seemingly be purely bug-catching and catching up on a giant number of features given to them all at once.

There shouldn't be any new features introduced once Fast has it, at least if MS knows what's good for them. This would seemingly eliminate any possibility of the twin fiascoes last year.
