Windows 10 Mobile Insider program quietly comes to an end
Today, we have some bad news to pass along to those few
remaining Windows 10 Mobile users who have been receiving updates via the
Windows 10 Mobile Insider program. A tweet from Microsoft's Brandon LeBlanc indicates that no more insider
builds of Windows 10 Mobile are coming. Windows 10 Mobile phones will still
receive monthly security updates from Microsoft, but nothing else is expected
to be pushed out.
Microsoft has already said that it won't be adding new
features to Windows 10 Mobile which means that there will be no reason to send
out any updates (again, other than security updates) to either the Fast or Slow
ring. If you collect trivia, you might want to know that Windows 10 Mobile ends
at Redstone 2 with the feature 2 branch. Keep that in mind, and perhaps you
might win some money playing HQ.
For now, updates to Universal Windows apps will
still revise the same apps on a Windows 10 Mobile handset. However, there will be a time when Microsoft drops
the platform completely, and you might want to get prepared mentally for that
eventuality.
