In what looks like the My People fiasco all over again, Microsoft has admitted to missing the bus on a major feature yet again after making the official announcement. This time it is the Windows Timeline feature that gets pushed to the next Windows 10 major feature update and is not coming in final “Fall Creators update” release.
Microsoft first announced Windows Timeline feature as coming with Windows 10 Fall creators update at the Build 2017. So after an official announcement at a major event one would expect that Microsoft will not embarass itself again after what happened with My People and Creators update. But history must repeat itself when it comes to Microsoft’s lofty promises.
Joe Belfiore has just confirmed on Twitter that Windows Timeline feature will be available in Insider Builds of what may be the Windows 10 version 1803, the next major update after the Fall Creators update.
Correct. Timeline won't be in the Fall Creators Update. We're planning for it to be in early insider builds shortly after FCU is out.

Update: Even Cloud Clipboard won’t make the cut for Fall Creators update and is pushed to Redstone 4 aka Version 1803.
… with cloud files the first firm feature, then timeline and cloud clipboard next. Tried to convey timing wasn't specific on these.
