Microsoft Confirms Massive Windows 10 Upgrade Changes

[RV_]

This should be a big improvement in reducing the amount of data updates take once implemented. Big improvement for RVrs.

 

Excerpt:

 

"Microsoft MSFT -0.83% has just revealed arguably its biggest Windows 10 upgrade so far and the irony is it is all about making things smaller…

 

Speaking on the official Windows blog, Windows program manager Bill Karagounis explained that Windows 10 is going to get much smarter about how it downloads updates:

 

“We are announcing the next generation of our delivery technologies incorporated into our latest Insider builds called the Unified Update Platform (UUP). One of the biggest community and customer benefits of UUP is the reduction you’ll see in download size on PCs.”

 

UUP uses differential download technology meaning it will download “only the changes that have been made since the last time you updated your device, rather than a full build”. Karagounis says this should reduce the size of major Windows 10 updates by “approximately 35%”.

 

This is a big deal. UUP will become the universal system used by all versions of Windows 10 – including on smartphones and tablets – and it should mean users not only save valuable bandwidth but also waste less time as devices focus purely on installing new patches."

A 35% reduction in a huge update is still a huge update. Sorry, but I'm not impressed and really don't expect much of a savings given Microsofts reputation. Chuck
