Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14393 for PC and Mobile Insider

I wonder if we'll see this Next Windows 10 Insider build could be 14393.31, a huge leap forward from 14393.5

Nah, it'll be a whole number a few iterations beyond what we have now. MS isn't going to confuse the issue to that point.

Strange numbers, not conforming to math. 0.5 is higher than 0.31.

Right, Mike, but aren't your numbers .494 (from memory; on 10586 at the moment) rather than 5.0?

Or have I been left behind again?

Hey Lin! I clicked on Doogie's link and it seems WinBeta has gotten itself totally confused on the issue. I'm going back to read the whole thing to see what gives!

Edit: OK, it seems that someone over on WinBeta is mathematically challenged. It also seems that Private Leak may have "leaked" its information a little slower than Microsoft released its Builds. Still, the math issue remains . . .

.5 = 1/2 or 5/10 or 50/100
.31 = not quite 1/3 or a little over 3/10 or 31/100

When I went to school 1/2 is more than 1/3. Need I say more? :)

One guy explained it like this:

The "." is not a decimal, it is a separator. You can have: 4.0.2.3.1c in a version number (even though it has a letter). That is how it works. Each companies have their own system.

But still my math teacher would cringe at it !!!

I got really excited when I checked for updates and was told updates are available....Windows Defender.
