If theyre "collecting data" to make the product better, theyre failing miserably. The only real irony is that MS collects more telemetry than ever, yet the track record of bad patches and updates during Windows 10's time is worse than for any previous Windows product. Google makes the case that their OS and services are free and they use it for advertising. That's a pretty big red flag for most people, and the "but but Google spies too" is a lazy cop out - not everyone that uses Windows uses Google services, and this is a paid retail OS ($99 Home, $199 Pro). Intel is expected to introduce its next processor family, dubbed Kaby Lake, by the end of 2016, and it’s a safe bet we’ll see a new Kaby Lake powered Surface Pro from Microsoft shortly afterwards, possibly in the spring.ĭelaying Redstone 2, so it arrives at the same time as the new hardware, would be a sensible move, and give Microsoft further time to fine tune the OS update.Actually, data mining is Microsoft's argument to make - the burden falls on them, not customers, since they're the ones trying to sell people on 10.Īnd so far they have refused to disclose what exactly they're collecting and why, but the EULA paints a scary picture where they basically entitle themselves to anything and everything on your PC including files, taking screenshots, whatever. The reason?Īccording to Microsoft watcher Mary Jo Foley, this delay is due to the software giant deciding to wait for a next wave of Microsoft branded devices to arrive - new PCs, tablets and phones - and that would make sense. However, sources at Microsoft now say Redstone 2 won’t be released until spring 2017. In other words, features that fail to make the first update will likely land in the second. The second wave, Redstone 2, was set to follow that towards the end of the year, and be a continuation of RS1. The first, currently expected in June/July, will be timed to encourage Windows 7 and 8.x users to upgrade while the OS is still free. 'Redstone', like 'Threshold' last year is set to be released in two waves. SEE ALSO: Windows 10 Insider Preview Redstone Build 14279 arrives on the Fast ring, with a few noteworthy changes
