Microsoft speaks amazing Windows 10 has no official version and RTM version

Windows 10 Build 10240 has been signed as the official version of RTM, but Microsoft told foreign media today that Windows 10 does not have RTM, Goes Gold, and finally the official version. The title. What is this? You should know that Windows 10 has changed a lot, including unprecedented public beta, but the whole process is still the same. Finally, a stable and reliable version is selected and distributed to OEMs for pre-installation on various devices (this is called Releae). To Manufacture), sold on the disc to the consumer.

Although the Windows system will be updated after the release, but it belongs to another chapter, users can get through Windows Update, but still need a basic starting version, which is RTM version.

Windows 10 Build 10240 is such a version. It is considered by Microsoft to be the result of its completion, stable and reliable, and will be distributed to manufacturers for sale, and will be updated continuously.

So, why does Microsoft say that Windows 10 has no official version?

In fact, this is just a propaganda statement from Microsoft. It corresponds to the Windows-as-a-service strategy proposed earlier. That is, a system will never end, and it will be updated and upgraded, not only with errors and bug fixes. New features will continue to be added.

In other words, Microsoft is using this to show that Windows 10 will be completely different from the past. It is not a separate release, it will not have an end, and it will remain viable. That's it.

Steffen Ritter, a former employee who worked at Microsoft for a decade and doing a lot of marketing work, also commented that he can be sure that almost everyone inside Microsoft will still refer to Build 10240 as the official version of RTM. End points and the like are just marketing and public relations terms. Internal technical staff will never say this. After all, you have to distribute the system to the manufacturer, so there must be one version, RTM.
