...that prevents Aul and his team from releasing a new build has already become a running gag in our office. But seriously: it is just diappointing and frustrating how they deal with W10m. Yesterday I found it very irritating when Aul was tweeting the news about the bug in the store that blocks them from rolling out a new build because:
a) it is not critical at all
b) the store is an app itself and is able to receive updates so it could be fixed later and no need to roll out a new build
c) even a workaround was already provided (buy apps on PC / through website) IF it not works (might work normal tho msot of the time)
d) it is a technical preview - bugs are expected
e) we already used to a cr*ppy store that randomly crashes, not installs updates etc.
f) there have been more serious bugs and problems on builds in the past than this store bug
Somehow awkward was the poll as well. I not even got to see the official results of it.
And then today the "one bug" that prevents us from installing any further builds. Well some people face this issue already as you can see in the forums randomly. Also it is almost certain that after installing a new build you have to do a hard reset. So not much difference if you have to recover to 8.1 and then get the most recent build. And that is only once to get over the buidl that prevents you from updating. For me it was acceptable, especially in fast ring.
Now all we got is delays and excuses. I simply think there was no build prepared to be released and we only got to see this stage play to keep us calm and patient.
What do you think?
