As was previously rumored, Microsoft today is releasing the Windows 10 May 2020 Update to developers. Those with a proper license can now download it on MSDN; otherwise, it's on Release Preview.

Microsoft has announced a new community-oriented website called Q&A which will be a new platform for users to seek and share knowledge about its products. It will replace MSDN and TechNet forums.

While the Windows 10 May 2019 Update won't ship to the general public until late next month, those with MSDN subscriptions are finding that ISOs are available to download right now.

Today, Microsoft finally made ISOs of Windows 10 S available, but only for MSDN subscribers, with the company saying that it wants to be sure developers can test the new operating system.

Microsoft marketing head Tami Reller said this week there's been over 2 million downloads of Windows 8.1 so far, but it's not clear if that's just of the preview version or if it includes the RTM bits

Now that the various Windows 8.1 versions have been made officially available to MSDN and TechNet subscribers, we can confirm that the leaks from the end of August are the same as the official ISOs.

In a change of heart, Microsoft has released the RTM builds for Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 for its TechNet and MSDN subscribers, along with the release candidate for Visual Studio 2013.

Microsoft's deadline for software developers to sign up for new and renewed TechNet subscriptions is today, which is the start of the company's eventual shutdown of the service.

Microsoft has announced that Windows Server 2012 R2 has gone gold and has been released to manufacturing. It will be released Oct. 18 for everyone, including MSDN and TechNet subscribers.

Microsoft may hold off releasing the RTM build of Windows 8.1 to MSDN or TechNet subscribers early and will instead release the OS to everyone in mid-October.

Microsoft has launched a revamp of its Microsoft Developer Network website, which now includes direct links to a user's MSDN subscription from anywhere on the site.
