When will Microsoft come to mind?
It would be time to realize that there are issues with the current development strategy for Windows 10.
According to a recent survey by AdDuplex, the fragmentation of the operating system is getting worse, and the adaptation of the October update (1809) is downright snappy: according to statistics, it has a share of only 6,6%. The exact numbers look exactly like this:
- 83,6% April update
- 5,7% Autumn creative update
- 1,8% Creative Update
- 1,4% Anniversary update
- 0,3% of the original Windows 10
Theoretically, the latest version of the system (1809) should already be there on many more computers, but it is highly likely that a lot of users have decided to postpone it due to a series of issues with the cumulative update package. So Windows 10 1809 is in a very special position, as according to Microsoft's development schedule, the next release of the system (19H1) may arrive as early as spring, in approximately 3-4 months. The latter fact predicts that the majority of users will simply skip this release, thus overwriting the six-month update cycle. In our opinion, it would be enough to release a more serious update once a year, so developers would also have more time to prepare for what's new, and maybe stability could be improved.
