Business users should no longer be afraid to deploy the Windows 10 April 2018 update, alias Version 1803, on their fleets, according to Microsoft.
During the life of Windows 10, the precise terminology used by Microsoft has changed. Originally, there was a split between the "current version" – the latest stable update with the latest monthly fix – and the "current version for businesses". This last label was used to designate the version that, according to Microsoft, was sufficiently tested and stabilized to be deployed in conservative fleets. While the current version would be updated with each new major update as soon as it was released, the current version of the enterprise creation was usually staggered by a few months.
The terminology has now changed a bit; What was formerly "Current Build" is now "Semi-Annual Channel (Targeted)" and "Current Build for Business" is now "Semi-Annual Channel". But the effect is the same: from yesterday's patch, which carries the build number of Windows 10 to 17134.165, the 1803 version now has the biannual channel label.
The new denomination is meant to be indicative of how companies should deal with new Windows 10 updates: the "targeted" version should be deployed on a limited set of early users for validation and testing, the untargeted version suitable for a larger deployment.
