This build is released only to insiders. If you took the normal upgrade then you don't get this yet.

Is this technically a "service pack" ? I mean if they release a whole build in the future how does the end user install or update it ?
I think they already have released 3 or 4 "cumulative updates", but to release new build sounds bigger to me. Is this Windows 10.1 ?

No, doubt it. You're just going to upgrade to it if 10 is already installed (Windows as a Service) and I am sure that we will all be downloading the newest ISO every month or so which will be "up-to-date" with updates included up until the release date of the ISO.

No it is an entire build. Installed the same way that other prerelease builds have been done. End users will not get this this is a beta for the preview insider program testers. It is back active again. End users will get builds in the future but not as frequently as insider members and they will download and install just as they did during the preview. That's why they call it Windows as a Service.

The main thing that concerns me about this build is this known issue:

• Mobile hotspot doesn’t work in this build. When sharing the Internet from your device with mobile broadband using Mobile Hotspot, it will fail to get a valid IP address from your device and will show no internet access.

I use this machine often with the mobile hotspot. This will force me to use a different machine when I need it.

Just like the insiders do. User gets to wait while the new version/build installs does not take long on a decent PC. But longer than just a batch of updates.

Apparently, the latest build/patch causes some havoc with Chrome (64 bit)....

You can get around that by using the --no-sandbox switch.

What's to be confused about? It's called Windows as a service. It has been discussed ad nauseum in the press for months now. Windows 10 will constantly have new builds coming out every few months. Microsoft is slipstreaming all the changes and patches for you.

Have you ever thought how many problems these
every now-and-often builds will cause?

Windows 10 Build 10525 ships with improvements, and bugs (by ghacks)

 

[nlinecomputers]

It's beta. It will have bugs. Remember regular users don't get this. If you did a plain upgrade to 10 then you don't get this.

This outlines how Microsoft will update regular non insider Windows users http://www.zdnet.com/article/microsofts-redstone-an-update-to-windows-10-due-in-2016/

Windows will put out builds, major updates about twice a year. This years updates were Threshold, the RTM build 10240, released on July 29th, and there will be a Threshold 2 released sometime in October, which is what this current build the insiders got is heading towards. In 2016 there will be two major updates called Redstone and Redstone 2. I'm guessing that they are planning on April and October targets for them. Insiders of course will get frequent builds just like we did during the build up to the RTM. The whole point of the insider program is to head off issues so that the RTM builds go smoothly.
