A brand new way of building, deploying, and servicing Windows
MicrosoftInsider Preview Branch
Broad Microsoft internal validation
Engineering builds
Users
10’s of thousands
Millions
Time
~6 months
Unmatched flexibility and control, depending on needs
Current Branch for Business
Benefits from new features
Begins broad deployment
Information workersGeneral population
Long Term Servicing Branch
Deploy for mission critical systems
No need for frequent new features (or any sort of change)
Too expensive for general population
Specialized systems
Specific feature and performance feedback
Application compatibility validation
Windows Insider Preview Branch
Test machines, small pilots
Current Branch
Deploy to appropriate audiences
Test and prepare for broad deployment
Early adopters, initial pilots, IT devices

With Windows 7 and 8, servicing choices added complexity and cost, increased fragmentation, and reduced quality
Typical Windows 7 PC:
Selectively Patched
Windows 7 Test Lab PC:
Fully Patched

are running

are testing

With Windows 10 servicing, consistency and simplicity are paramount
Changes being considered for older Windows releases as well
Windows Insider Preview Branch
Specific feature and performance feedback
Application compatibility validation
Deploy to all audiences, in waves to reduce risk
Deploy to pilot audiences
Validate and prepare for broad deployment
Deploy / Use
6+ months of active development
~4 months 12+ months
16+ months to validate, deploy, and use each release

Windows as a service (twice per year)
Apps Infra Imaging Deploy
1 Configure Insider PCs• Lab or secondary PCs
• Enough to explore new features, measure compatibility
2 Identify special PCs• Deploy Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB
• Limited numbers (we hope)
3 Recruit volunteers for pilots• Willing participants who will provide feedback
• Cover the broadest set of apps and devices possible
4 Divide broad population of PCs• Standard deployment best practice
• Focus on risk reduction, minimizing disruption
Understand Current Branch vs. Current Branch for Business
Each Windows 10 release has its own lifecycleStarts as Current Branch, progresses to Current Branch for Business
Each device can specify a preference for when to move forward to the next releaseDefer for CBB
Each deployment or management tool can implement this idea differently
Current Branch for Business (CBB)
Long Term Servicing Branch (LTSB)
Ongoing security updates for the lifetime of the branch
1st party browsing choices
Several months to consume feature updates
Support for Universal Office and some 1st party Universal apps
No feature upgrade required to stay supported
Value of the latest features as they are released
Capabilities
Recommended Enterprise use scenarioGeneral information worker
systems; salesforce, etc. Special systems:
Air Traffic Control; Hospital ER, etc.
Microsoft Edge, IE 11
Support for Win 32 Office
Ability to load universal apps
IE 11
Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise
(Current Branch, Current Branch for Business)
Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 LTSB
Outstanding compatibility means a smooth migration from Windows 7 or Windows 8.1
Analyze the machine as a whole
Early detection of issues with flighting
Aggressive approach to removing upgrade
blocking apps and drivers after evaluating
user experience
Data driven approach on the long tail of
apps
Targeting of upgrades starting with the most
‘healthy’ machines
Differences
Limited enterprise telemetry available
Some apps needs to be supported by ISV and / or verified in house
IT can create custom mitigations to make experience seamless
Web app compat is a concern

We are actively engaged
with ISVs, to ensure full
support for Windows as a
service
Call to action• Understand that Windows as a service
requires some changes• Be an insider• Get all your drivers up on WU• Be able to position CB, CBB and LTSB• Implement a Windows 10 servicing
process
