Just saw this:
Gabriel Aul ‏@GabeAul 2m2 minutes ago We are working on doing something we've never done before with new builds...but not today.

[realwarder]

I saw that. What is he hinting at?

[realwarder]

Have they released desktop and mobile on the same day before?

That's what I'm thinking... wouldn't it be awesome of the Insider versions were synced up?

Or Android support active?

Well, he clearly stated it is something about the build itself and not features, so nothing to be SO excited about.

No, it actually wouldn't :)

Different types of builds for different devices? Eg a different build for lumia 1020 vs 640

Installation of builds by using the Windows Device Recovery Tool?

I too was thinking it would be something about how it is released. I feel like this would save a lot of time, especially if it combines installation with hard reset.

Or introducing a new app for desktop, something like Windows Device Update Tool (with Insider support). It would be great convenience.

Illuminati didn't mind Project Astoria and Islandwood so launching Project Oldvine (porting Marshmallow to Lumia) and Project Newmoon (iOS on Lumia, lol) won't be an issue.

Installing an image using the WDRT actually IS a hard reset of the device, so, yes, it saves time. However, it doesn't really provide a way forward for how things need to be done AFTER the RTM is released. I would definitely prefer this as an option, but it's probably a bit late for this since we are getting so close to release.

This would provide a way forward for how things need to be done after the final release. As close as we are getting, it is very likely. However, I'm not certain it would qualify as something that they have never done with a build before, as it seems this has been done already, though I can't be certain.

I kind of suspect that it will be releasing a synchronized build between PC and Mobile, as that is the ultimate goal to keep all OSes updated to the same version. If that's the case, then this needs to be accomplished at some point soon.

At any rate, it should be around 2 hours from now that we find out the details, if it's 9:00am Pacific Time, that is. Nearly 7:00am Pacific Time now.

finally the answer is there: release build to slow and fast ring today

[pankaj981]

Mehh that won't happen. It beats the purpose of having two release branches to begin with.

My speculations:

1) release the builds for more phones with an option to rollback from within the OS itself OR

2) include device firmware with builds OR

3) add a third option in addition to fast and slow.

Exactly what I was thinking when I read the tweet yesterday.

If they feel that the new build is stable enough, then it could happen. However, it is unlikely. Unlikely doesn't mean won't happen.

I'm starting to lose the ability to concentrate on what I'm supposed to be doing the closer we get to time for the announcement. Have my laptop and phone both plugged in and charging just in case. ;)

I think its time to release RTM build hehehe

[pankaj981]

The whole reason of having two release rings was to first release a build in the fast ring and based on insider feedback release it later to the slow ring. But I am open to the simultaneous release idea too.

950 and 950 XL preorders in Europe have a shipping date of November 26th so if I've to guess, Final Release Build will be finalized a week or two before that.
