2 Insider Builds in 2 Days?
They really have jacked up the velocity on Insider Builds it seems :)
Sadly, I know I'm going to update all of my machines tonight even though this pace seems a little insane to me. I'm hoping that we will start seeing builds that update using the "traditional" update process. I'm guessing that they will need to start testing that before the final GA build rolls out.
Anyway in some sick way, this makes sense. Given how and when they promised to deliver these, they should have a LOT more Fast and Slow ring candidates as they get closer to release as the OS should get more and more stable and individual builds should be unlikely to fail internal validation. Hopefully the Fast ring doesn't end up in a perpetual state of daily releases. I don't think it will. Gabe Aul had mentioned that this had been in testing for a week now. If their test cycle is at least a week long, that should mean that over time the fastest they should be expected is weekly. Frankly, if there were some consistency I would be fine with that pace as long as there was a similarly well defined pace for the Slow ring (in both cases affording delays for "bad" builds).
Not much else to say here.
