Windows 10, version 1709 for Surface Hub
Daniel Hudson, I heard from a Microsoft Tech that they are dropping the regular releases for the Surface Hub like FCU and will bundle in new features with regular update rollups so that changes will happen more regularly than with big updates. I've noticed a few small things after some recent updates.
If this is the case then I'll be honest, I'm disappointed.
Don't get me wrong, I can fully see why Microsoft would do this for such a sensitive product that can't afford much downtime (CU's are generally safer updates, quicker release of needed features that don't have to wait until full feature release every 6 months, closer control of Surface Hub specifics), but I do still get quite a bit of joy from getting a new feature update and marvelling over the new shiny goodness!
I was so looking forward to seeing the first parts of the fluent design language come to Surface Hub. Kinda feel like we've been robbed of that if it's true :-(
Edit 06/02: I've now corroborated this both at the Tech Summit and elsewhere. 1709 is not shipping for Windows 10 Team and Surface Hub. Microsoft are instead focused on bringing features for 1709 and beyond into 1703 for Windows 10 Team via monthly cumulative updates.
Less risk involved, doesn't require risky build deployments, and most of what shipped in 1709 doesn't provide much benefit to Surface Hub.
When can we start deploying and testing Fluent Design prototypes on Surface Hub?
We need the Fall Creators Update (1709) on all Surface Hubs please (or at least the ones in Studio H).
I am an administrator on the one in Studio H/32 and can install it manually if it is available / compatible.
