Microsoft: No More 'Patch Tuesday' For Windows 10 Home Users
citpyrc writes: According to the Register, Microsoft is making some changes to how it rolls out updates in Windows 10. Home users will receive updates as they come out, rather than queueing them all up on "patch Tuesday." Business users will have the option to set their own update cycle, so they can see if any of the patches accidentally break anything for home users before trying them out. There will also be an optional peer-to-peer updating mechanism for Windows 10. Microsoft announced a service called Advanced Threat Analytics, which employs various machine learning techniques to identify malware on a network. As a premium service, top-dollar customers can pay for Microsoft to monitor black-hat forums and alert the company if any of its employees' identities are stolen.
Except that I don't want "all my machines" patched next Tuesday - maybe my Dev boxes on Tuesday, my QA boxes on Wednesday, and if all goes well maybe my production boxes on late Friday night.
Setting this up is already possible via group policy.
All my liberal friends think I'm a conservative, all my conservative friends think I'm a liberal.
Conversely, my Win 10 test box has bluescreened exactly zero times. Had the preview installed since day one.
