Tech Preview fail... slow ring already gets update.
I don't want to complain too much. Even getting a build a little early is better than waiting the short period before the slow ring gets it. It just feels like nothing was resolved for all of the talk about speeding up the fast ring builds.
The point of speeding up the fast ring delivery process was supposed to fix the perception that there wasn't much difference between the fast and the slow ring and to get more builds out. Shortly after the announcement there was a new build... but it was still basically 2 months since the last build... and then it was pushed to the slow ring about a week later.
Now, it could simply be that at the time they decided to ramp the speed up on the fast ring they already had a really stable build candidate. For optics reasons (yes I know I sound like a shifty product manager), I think that they should have held off on pushing to the slow ring until they pushed another build to the fast ring, artificially making the fast ring seem even faster.
Not a huge deal, and not something important to rant about. But it feels like a failed promise even though we are too soon into the promise of more rapid builds to really draw any conclusions. I'll have to check if anyone else feels the same. If it is widespread it isn't good for the image of the team, if it is just me... then it is probably fine.
