From InfoWorld: Microsoft will issue its next Windows 10 upgrade in March 2017, according to clues uncovered by digital detectives.
Tero Alhonen and a Twitter user identified as WalkingCat sussed the likely release timetable from a group policy in the latest Insider preview. According to a screenshot posted by Alhonen, Windows 10 version 1703 will be required for the policy.
Microsoft designates Windows 10 versions with a year+month label. In that convention, 1703 would represent March 2017. Previous versions included 1507 -- July 2015, the debut version -- 1511 and 1607. The last was the most recent, released not in July but on Aug. 2.
Previously, Microsoft acknowledged that it would issue just one Windows 10 upgrade in 2016, but had a pair planned for 2017.
Originally, Microsoft's development-and-release cadence was to be a three-times-annually tempo, or about every four months. Under that regime, an upgrade was to be supported with security updates to commercial customers only until its second successor appeared.
