Logical. Just like last year, during the early development phase of the operating system, the Windows team is taking some time off during the holidays.
And that means, no new preview builds.
Until January.
The software titan did roll out two new versions earlier this week, one for the PC and the other meant for mobile, and the company does not plan to push any updates until next month.
Gabriel Aul, the head of the Windows Insider Program explained in a post that new builds will now only arrive in 2016:
“I also want to set expectations for new builds for both PC and mobile between now and the end of 2015.
This time of year many of us take the opportunity to spend time with family and take some vacation time, so the engineering team will be running at a slower pace and many of our key people who drive our flighting process will be out (including me). This means we won’t be releasing any new builds to Windows Insiders until January, for both PC and mobile.”
Redmond is expected to speed up development of the operating system and releases then.
Obviously, not everyone will be happy to hear that no builds will be coming till the end of the year, there is no point in accelerating their release, as it might cause some unforeseen consequences when it comes to bugs and issues.
Besides, the Windows team is coming off a big year, and has earned their time off.
