Oct 12, 2020Updated for 20H2: Windows 10 gets better with every release
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.
Windows 10 improvements and innovations: version 1507 to version 1809
Windows 10 improvements and innovations: version 1903 to version 20H2
Stay tuned for the next update!

Hi Dave_Backman Joe_Lurie happy New Year, do you plan to update the PDF / picture with the additions of 21H1 and 21H2?
Since there are now annual GAC instead SAC I would like to propose that the graphical feature stack is split as done with start of 1903, to maintain readability.
Also it would be nice to have an additional one for Windows 11 to learn about the key difference between Windows 10 21H2 and Windows 11 21H2.

Dave_Backman and Joe_Lurie I second this. Can we get an updated version of this for 21H2

Dave_Backman do you know when an updated version of this will be available for 21H2? My customer loves this format, thank you for doing this! - Piotr1955Copper Contributor👍👍👍
- VenkykingCopper ContributorWhat about cortana guys that is so disgusting. Try something about it in Windows 20H2
- When I compare current Cortana to the Cortana that was available in the first version of Windows 10, it had a lot more features. my favorite was song detection.
the Cortana we have in Windows 10 20H2 is so dull and unhelpful.
I know what I want from an AI assistance but Cortana in Windows 10 20H2 fails to provide them.
The team behind Cortana knows this perfectly well, a lot better than us, but for some reason they care more about the enterprise side of Cortana than consumer side.
What I expect from Cortana on Windows 10 is to be at least on par with Google assistance on Android.

Thank you for sharing and this is very valuable.
This is very helpful when you want to proof why it is important to upgrade to new build.

Reza_Ameri-Archived Is a great tool to illustrate a number of different points around servicing... the importance, the agility of our engineering innovation, EOS dates, etc. Will post the update with 20H2 as soon as its available...

Dave_Backman This is great! Can you please tell me when Microsoft is releasing Windows 10 version 2009 and what features it comes with? HotCakeX and TheShaunSaw too.

Kam No date has been released as of yet so stay tuned... should be soon.
- TheShaunSawSilver Contributor
I don't have any idea about the release date of version 2009 but according to the normal schedule the release to manufactures (RTM) of the version should have happened in September and it should be released to the users in October if everything goes well
- Most likely this month, October
