You Can't Spell Blair Witch Without AI - Moment 3 features, EC targets Azure, Forgetful Browsing
Windows 11: We're having another moment!
- After hitting Release Preview last week, Moment 3 will arrive in preview form next week (Week D) or the following week and then head to stable on June 13 (Patch Tuesday).
- Now we have a better understanding of Microsoft's update schedule for Windows 11
- Feature Updates - one per year in H2, deployed logically using best-known configurations first
- Moments - once per quarter
- Controlled Feature Releases (CFRs) - almost every month, deployed randomly
- App updates - can happen anytime based on readiness\
- Continuous innovation isn't just for Windows. In fact, we can assume that mobile was the inspiration for this. Windows feels pressure from mobile. Does mobile feel pressure from web?
- When Moment 3 arrives, can people in Release Preview automatically exit Insider Preview?
- Phone Link support for iPhone goes to stable
- Windows 10 version 21H2 exits support next month, leaving 22H2 as the last version standing for non-managed businesses
