Windows 10: Windows 10 Fall Creators Update coming October 17th 2017

I guess at 10 AM everyone here will find out if their machine qualifies as a "newer" machine. I wonder what the qualifications are for Microsoft to class your computer as a "newer" machine?

Same as it was for the Creators Update, those that have been tested and are known to be 'good to go'. That will be the newest models then....

Microsoft said:

...the first phase of the rollout targets newer devices. Based on testing work done with our OEM hardware and ISV app partners...

Windows 10 Creators Update rollout: First phase update

Positive thinking my friend. The chances of getting a one that is 100% bug free is nill.

Personally I would think fixes to known issues would be more important security wise than a new photo app and a handful of other eye candy bolt ons.

Yeah, because MS never thought of that

Of course they'll always try fixing issues, but if they can't or can't replicate it on all machines, well sometimes they don't get fixed. I'm fairly sure MS does a sort of triage where they're fix issues that affects most serious and glaring to the most machines and go from there. At the same time, they're also introducing new features. Nothing to say they can't do both at the same time.

You also have to realize that just because you've got a problem, doesn't mean everyone else has that problem and thus could be isolated to you or a subset of machines that may not actually be a MS problem per se, but exist because something else is forcing the issue.
