Introducing Windows Insider Channels for Windows 10 Insider
-
I remember those 13 5''1/4 inch diskettes and sweated every one of them install 95 on an ESDI computer.
What about the 30 or diskettes or so needed for the old Word for Windows / on Windows 3.11 or EXCEL !! -- at about nr 28 you'd get "Disk error or I/O error" and wait a few days before you could get replacements -- CD's (no DVD's at that time) didn't appear until quite a bit later !!.

Whatever MS name the new rings I can't see them changing much if at all from what we have now. Personally I'll stay on the Fast/Dev Ring. I've been mainly on the Fast Ring for the past 5 years on my only PC and had minimal problems.

Good move!
Any small changes are always welcome here. Edge and Windows have the same channels now. Anything under the Dev channel is a waste of electricity here.
To start fresh, I hope that we get the new Edge Dev in 21H1 tomorrow.

Do you have some inside information that we will get 21LH1 later today?

I was hoping for it yesterday, fast ring is usually first and more often than slow. Made a backup and didn't get anything.

Looks like just a rename at the moment.
Yeah. One interesting snippet I have just read is that MS are driving the practice of restricting a feature to some users which never made sense.
I also think the older style approach where builds went to Fast and then moved to Slow was better as all Insiders on Fast and Slow test a feature.
The policy shift to have parallel development meant Fast Ring users do not test Slow Ring builds any more reducing level of testing on features earmarked for next release.

It probably mean that the Slow/Beta channel will get more frequent updates.

Today is Wednesday, which lately has been the day of choice to drop a build. 87.38234% chance. Or 0.

At the moment I have been calling Fast Ring the Dev Channel, Slow Ring the Pre Alpha Channel, Release preview the Alpha Channel and The official builds the Beta channel.
...Because to me, all the versions are in an experimental flux at all times.
