I’d like to know how are we to keep up with these updates. By the time I’m done getting 1903 out, 1903 will be end of support and I’ll have to start rolling out whatever new build is current then.
What happened to 10 year long OS’s like XP and 7? Now I have to upgrade the OS every 2 years just to keep security updates coming down the pipe? We just did an internal NESSUS vulnerability scan and 18 machines on 1703 and earlier came up on the report for being end of life. I’m almost done getting all the Windows 7 machines up to Windows 10, but even if these machines have a 5 year lifespan, the hardware will outlive the OS! It used to be we bought a generation of computer preloaded with an OS (like Win 7) then 5 or 6 years later those computers would be refreshed with a newer model and a newer OS (like Win 10).
If you want to do feature updates fine, but keep those security updates coming down the wire. I can’t tell you how many 1607 builds we have that just will NOT update at all to 1803,1809 or 1903. “Something went wrong” is not helpful.
