Hi thanks for your feedback, Office Insiders also posted something, that surprised me, as they have a different understanding of their channels, as I personally interpreted it from this blog table.

 

comparing channel names by pure audience targeting definition (how I understand the channel description of Office and Windows)

 

WindowsOffice
DevBeta
BetaCurrent Channel preview
Release (SAC)Monthly (narrow minded SAC Enterprise, but doesn't apply for Home users, such it is the SAC equivalent)
-SAC Enterprise Preview (slowest pace preview)
LTSC SAC Enterprise (slowest pace)

To keep up a vital and constructive discussion I am thankful they reached out on twitter to explain their point of view.
