With each release, Windows 10 improves from a security, productivity, and manageability perspective. But the underlying message, and what makes it all possible, is the agility and unbelievable engineering innovation that simplifies the servicing process for the IT Pro. Delivering on my promise to make it a habit to share the better together slides with each release, the version attached to this post covers IT innovations through Windows 10, version 20H2--and the end of service (EOS) date for each feature set so you don't get too close to hitting EOS for any of the devices in your estate. Stay tuned for the next update!Announcing a Windows as a service AMA on May 4th!

An AMA is a live online event similar to a "YamJam" on Yammer or an "Ask Me Anything" on Reddit. The Windows as a service AMA will give you the opportunity to connect with members of the Windows product and engineering teams, who will be on hand to answer your questions and listen to feedback. Don't forgot to add the event to your calendar. We hope to see you there!
New revision documentation
When releasing a new version of Windows 10 can it be accompanied with detailed documentation about new/changed/deprecated features, especailly those that could impact applications e.g. API, security models, features? Reason being that with 160k+ machines, 3000+ applications and 3000+ internal/external websites used daily, we need to provide our developer/application owner community with as much information as possible. This is going to be key to maintaining the cadence of the CBB releases.Office hours are closed: November 19, 2020
