When Microsoft releases a new version of Windows 10, it’s delivered in the form of a bandwidth-annihilating all-inclusive package. Windows 10 basically downloads a new copy of itself. Most Windows 10 users also don’t have much control over whether and when these massive updates occur.
Earlier this week, Microsoft publicly admitted that this arrangement is perhaps not ideal, and announced upcoming changes that will make the Windows 10 upgrade system less awful. Users will be given slightly more choice for scheduling upgrades, and the updates will only include what’s actually changed in the O/S, making them significantly smaller.
What’s really weird is the way that Microsoft is portraying these changes, as if they’ve discovered something new. Sorry, Microsoft. The rest of the world already knew that limiting update packages to what’s actually changed is a good idea.
