I think the key is knowing the answer to “Microsoft has yet to say how long companies can delay updates before they roll out themselves”
Just last month MS released a patch that we cannot install because it breaks our document management software. I don’t know how long, if ever, it will take the vendor to correct the issue. If I were forced to install that patch we’d be at a production stand still. From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tyler S.

Only home has regular Current Branch. I suppose that there would just be different updating policies for those different groups? So allow automatic updates to the early adopters, and disable them on the others? http://windowsitpro.com/windows-10/update-servicing-branches-available-each-windows-10-edition On Mon, Aug 3, 2015 at 12:18 PM, Marcum, John <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: From a media perspective how do I know which is CB and which is CB for Business?

Maybe that mix works out to <1%, 1%, 80%, and the rest.
