Alan,
At some point, the updates need to be implemented. Enterprises can delay it. Small companies with no (or limited) internal tech usually can't. Or they come up with kludges to stop them. But in essence the Windows 10 you have today will not be the same Windows 10 you have in 1.5 years. I am wondering why they even bother with keeping the 10. Why not call it Windows build 1803 (in your case).... The 10 is just irrelevant now.
Just my 2 cents...

Since the upgrades are forced on everyone, unless you have a computer like one of mine that crashes when MS tries to push an upgrade (and then reverts), in theory, everyone is running on the same version.
Not true. Windows 10 Pro, Education and Enterprise versions can defer feature updates (i.e. the big semi-annual ones) for up to a year. This would need to be specifically configured in Group Policy though. Our organisation has thousands of Windows 10 boxes I imagine, and we're all still on 1803.
You cannot normally defer these updates in Windows 10 Home without fiddling in the registry. But hey, what business is using that version, right?
Version numbers have always been a political and marketing issue, while build number (or release number) are really what we need to know for technical support.
Apple shipped OS X. So, just like Windows stole the trashcan, they had to have a Windows 10.

Yes, and as Mac OS X has been around for 20 years, Windows 10 will bury us all.
