We knew already that Windows 10 would offer multiple paces of update delivery. The range of options includes a pure security fix-only Long Term Servicing branch, a consumer-paced monthly mix of security and feature improvements, and even the Insider Program for pre-release access to in-development features.
For consumers, this will all be managed through Windows Update. And at its Ignite conference in Chicago today, Microsoft announced the enterprise counterpart: Windows Update for Business. Internally, Microsoft refers to Windows Update as "WU" (pronounced "Woo"), and one assumes that the company similarly calls Windows Update for Business "WUB" with an altogether more dubsteppy pronunciation.
WUB will take the basic WU experience in Windows 10—selectable update speeds, peer-to-peer downloading of updates—and extend it with business-oriented features. The two big ones are the ability to define maintenance windows and policy-based configuration of update policy according to business need.
