Earlier this week, we reported that Microsoft is expected to release the version Windows 10 RTM (Release to manufacturing) this week, but apparently the company didn't make it. Sources within the company said that the target for sign-off on the RTM version has been pushed back to the middle of next week.
Delaying Windows 10 RTM does not directly affect consumers, but it certainly affects OEMs waiting for the new operating system to begin their own internal process of customizing the operating system to their devices.
Consumers will not be directly affected by the delay as system upgrades have been set by July 19 and the delay will not affect this date.
Η Microsoft έχει αναφέρει ήδη ότι στις 29 Ιουλίου θα αρχίσει να διαθέτει το νέο της λειτουργικό σύστημα δίνοντας priority to Windows Insiders and then to everyone who has pre-registered to upgrade from Windows 7 and 8.
The sign-off process of a new operating system has several controlς πριν δοθεί το πράσινο light, because the version given to OEMs should have as few bugs as possible, Neowin reports.
In the event that the RTM version still needs improvements, there is always the alternative to updates. But Microsoft prefers to make the changes that the new operating system needs in Redmond's laboratories instead of going through the update process.
However, it will not surprise us if there are patches from the very first day.
