Announcing Windows 10 Insider Fast Build 16257 PC + 15237 Mobile

Hi Marty,

You look to be all set.

16257.1000 is rs-prerelease which will eventually become RS4; RS4 will not be available until Spring 2018

Many people are all ready it calling RS4 but technically it is not.

whether I'm currently running the RS4 build or I will be running it after the next update this coming week. Advice? .

Yes, you are in Skip Ahead, but Microsoft has not yet released any RS4 build, both builds (rs_prerelease and rs3_release) still belong to RS3, the only difference is that rs_prerelease (Skip Ahead) receives early updates of the inbox apps, the first build of RS4 will be released at the end of this month or early September, I think...

I disagree. This will offically be RS3. RS4 will come Spring of 2018.

I totally agree, none of these builds belongs to RS4, I do not know why here and in other forums people are calling Skip Ahead "RS4".

I mean the first RS4 build will be released for the insiders who are on Skip Ahead around the end of this month or early September or a few days later.

I'm just sorry for forgetting to add a ninja cat pic, please accept this as a sign of me fully understanding that we should not talk about Insider preview builds and features without either a ninja cat joke, kitty pic, reference to Hustle-as-a-Service or taco hat, or as preferred, all of them.

Attachment 148414

BTW. the above is as far as I can recall the second ever cat pic I have posted on Internet since long before WWW (I was a Gopher user long before WWW was presented in early 90's).

I do not thing we need to be so DOGmatic about things

.

I saw something similar about your Ring experience. When I installed Pro, on my PC, Slow and Fast were greyed out, and only after I selected Next Version, did I get option to select Fast or Slow. Seems backwards to me!

I agree that Skip Ahead Insiders will see new rs prelease builds soon but it will not be called RS4 at that time.

LEOPEVA64 · 11 Aug 2017

Well, I do believe everyone will call those builds "RS4".

Not everyone and certainly not Microsoft.

Okay, *almost everyone, besides, some members of the insider team already call this builds "RS3", I think those same members will call it "RS4"

And when someone refers to the builds of the next Development Branch as "RS4", Brandon Leblanc does not correct them or tells them that it will not be called that way, we'll see ...
