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
