Microsoft Backtracks on Windows 10 Delivery Date


Batu69

Recommended Posts

The announcement that Windows 10 (final) would be launched on 29th July took a lot of people by surprise, including yours truly. The general consensus being that October was the most likely general release date for the new operating system. Now, in a recent blog post, Microsoft has indicated that Windows 10 will not be available for the majority of people on July 29th, and that the July 29 date is more of a guideline than an actual hard launch.

The Windows blog post presented by Terry Myerson describes a staggered delivery approach beginning from 29th July:

Starting on July 29, we will start rolling out Windows 10 to our Windows Insiders. From there, we will start notifying reserved systems in waves, slowly scaling up after July 29th. Each day of the roll-out, we will listen, learn and update the experience for all Windows 10 users.

So, Windows 10 will only be available to Windows Insiders on July 29th, everyone else will have to wait until they are included in one of the ensuing “waves”. Which is entirely contrary to Microsoft’s initial announcement regarding the launch date:

On July 29, you can get Windows 10 for PCs and tablets by taking advantage of the free upgrade offer, or on a new Windows 10 PC from your favorite retailer.

Are they claiming that the new version of Windows is going to finally fix the blue screen of death

.... and make it easy to install printer drivers?

been a windows user since win 95 and i never had an issue with installing printer drivers and never once had a blue screen of death...from what i have seen the blue screen arises mores often for those who "highly" customize/tweak windows installs

Win 10 TP is still far from RTM, far from RC, far from being complete.

There are a lot of things to be fixed and we insiders are guinea pigs... and will be like that until it becomes stable enough to go RTM...

It's not entirely true. Sadly, even on a fresh, MSDN, untouched install you can get BSOD on certain configurations. But most of the time, it's a faulty driver not installed/developped properly, or a fault in the hardware.

But you are very lucky not having a single BSOd since win 95, because it can happen even on non-modified install.

U probably jumped some if not a lot of WIndows versions and also must have had either a very very good hardware or nearly no usage.

Win95 itself was very amazing, very little things could actually break, i've been using Windows since 3.0 or 3.1(or 3.1.1 not sure which one was), used 95 for sometime also, and indeed in these versions 99% of the errors were either caused by myself doing dumb errors(i was a very little kid at the time) or faulty hardware/drivers), 98 first edition was a joke, crashed on launch btw if u remember the Bill Gates presentation.

U probably never used ME edition, original 2000, or vista.

ME was pretty much a mine field.

You can get BSOD with perfect installs from dll's getting corrupt or faulty device drivers compatibility issues etc etc. I was told in school windows xp was going to be dll less meaning they would stop using dll's that isnt true if anything they would go from dll to sll dynamic link library's to static link libraries. The advantages of dll's over sll's is big so thats why that didnt happen they can change microsoft could change it up but if you google dll vs. sll dll's are better. I heavily tweak windows and I dont want to jinx myself but I havent had a bsod of death in awhile. As for printer drivers depending on the printer and how old it is and if its manufacturer keeps supporting windows xp depends on the difficulty on installing those drivers. I dont think microsoft can fix the blue screen of death..

I got another blue screen, just yesterday, Windows 7 x64 fully updated. I installed the latest ATI Catalyst Driver and it apparently tried to install HDMI audio on top of my IDT Audio in my old HP DV2 notebook. Blue Crash of Death, no warning, no recovery .................... basta Gates. they can't fix it .... they don't care about the user.

WHY?

is not obvious ?

is because Windows 10 is still not perfect to be released.

I thought you said too perfect to be released, ha..ha.. Like the cars that don't break, that they will never sell.
