Thanks, Martin, For explaining what Microsoft is doing with main paid and bought Microsoft operating system.
More and more I am quite sure (Think 18-07) that Microsoft is still in the pre-release face from there much to earlier brought 10 operating system on the market.
Just like they did with there o.s. called Windows 8, Windows 8.1. Microsoft always had their problems over the decades with upgrading there operating systems.
Image where they could be when they’re not so eager to make a few stockholders happy.
I am quite sure those same stockholders would be even happier right now.
Like a year I am waiting when the Windows o.s. updates will kick in. Still, on main almost a year old 1803 version the latest build upgrade is 17134.523. No more search for updates for me.
Martin, I appreciate your advanced status information for 1809. “The update for Windows 10 version 1809 is being tested in the Release Preview ring currently.”

Windows 10, Version 1809 Rollout Status as of January 16, 2019
We are now starting our phased rollout to users via Windows Update, initially offering the update to devices we believe will have the best update experience based on our next generation machine learning model.
Oddly, couldn’t find the option to completely disable all telemetry and personal data collection.
Telemetry and Data collection (Spy-ware) always works perfect doesn’t it? It can’t be disabled and never needs updates or patches.
It really shows where their development priories are.
All your computers are belong to us!
“While they do fix issues, they have known issues as well”
OMG! I almost wet myself laffing…..Its so True.
Microsoft ought to change their name “Clown Car Softwarz”

It seems to me that M$ learned that if they release buggy unsafe OSes Then make you update them
online they can control you better.
Now with Windows as a service you dont own your copy of Windows THEY DO.
Completely.
Now…. I dont own my linux OS, but neither does anyone else!
And certainly no one who has ill will for me.
