Fast Ring Pulls Ahead of Skippy!
Here's something interesting I just noticed from the "About" information for the latest Fast Ring and Skip Ahead releases:
I'm guessing this situation, which gives Fast Ring a higher version number than Skip Ahead preview, will persist until:
(a) MS notices and catches Skippy up
(b) 1809 goes public and Skippy gets bumped as a consequence.
What do YOU think?

Hi there
seems to me that as the next real build becomes more suitable for a public "out of the door" release the idea of having a "fast" and an "Ultra fast" i.e skippy becomes redundant.
IMO there's not a huge lot they can do to Windows currently until hardware becomes more capable -- such as being able to handle Holograms (without screen -- project 3D image say into a room) or proper VR. Otherwise it's just incremental improvements, faster I/O and more screen (multi screen) capability -- and please MS don't hose up Networking again after each update.
The hologram projection though requires an enormous step up from current compute power for even the most powerful of consumer grade machines -- I did see some experimental effort at this at The Royal Institution in UK during their annual excellent series of Xmas lectures around 2 / 3 years ago -- you also need to have some type of dust / cloud / water vapour to actually project the hologram on to.
("Starship Enterprise --here we come" !!).

I wish they would just take a break, stop for a bit, and clean up the lose ends. Why do we still have Control Panel and Settings? Finish what you started already.

By all rights, Skippy should be 1903 if they plan to keep the build cadence.

@CountMike: they're switching to 19H1 (where 19 is for 2019, and H1 is for "first half of year") and 19H2 for next year. But yes, you'd be right if they weren't making that switch.
Best wishes,

I thought that 19H1 rtc. are substitute only for Rs6 etc. and that build numbers will continue.

Correct - they are just dropping the obscure redstone sequencing.
1903 - 19H1 - pretty much the same thing really now.
