Microsoft's Windows-as-a-service will be getting another twist, at least in terms of its terminology, according to an announcement on Thursday.
In a nutshell, it appears that Microsoft is planning to drop the "T" (for "Targeted") in its semiannual channel (SAC) releases of Windows 10, as shown in its Windows 10 servicing table. An "SAC-T" Windows 10 release is supposed to get tested within organizations by a distribution process in which a small number of end users gets put into so-called testing "rings." If no problems are encountered with the targeted release among those testers, then the release should be broadly deployed across the organization, according to Microsoft, even if the release is still labeled as "Targeted."
This notion was explained by John Wilcox of Microsoft, a contributor to the Microsoft Tech Community, in a Thursday post.
The most recent release of Windows 10, namely Windows 10 version 1803, or the "April 2018 Update," is actually an SAC-T release. However, when it was released, Microsoft didn't use that label to describe it. The SAC-T label might have been helpful for organizations to know about, although Wilcox's post seems to be arguing something else.
