Surface Pro 2017 not ready for 1903

<p>Before the late May release I put the 1903 Release Preview on both a Pro 5 (i.e., 2017) and a Book 2 without any hitches. They work fine. Out of an excess of caution I kept my primary machine (a first gen Studio) at arm's length from the Insider Program. Today I decided that 1903 was stable and non-threatening on everything else, so I went to trigger the update on my Studio and got the "You can't have it yet" message.</p><p>I'm pretty sure that "your device isn't quite ready for it" is how you say in the Redmond dialect of Modern English, "Our company isn't in a position to offer an across-the-board guarantee that our product won't erase a bunch of your files the way our last release did, or maybe even do something worse." I guess I am glad that they are cautious, but please, Microsoft — just tell the damn truth. Here's an example I offer as a model:</p><p><em>Because of the increasing complexity of the Windows Operating System, we have chosen to engage in a staggered release schedule for the current version based on the make and model of upgradable devices. This will call to our attention incrementally and in a way we can more systematically address any evidence of small issues that did not show up in our long and detailed internal corporate and external Insider evaluation processes. A delayed OS is actually a safer OS. Thank you.</em></p>
