W10 being released is probably the biggest I can think of due to DX12 availability...

Just watch the WAN show and look at the topics being discussed each week: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8mG-RkN2uTw7PhlnAr4pZZz2QubIbujH

Yes because a summer's worth of wan shows isn't a massive backlog.
