Azure Pipelines - Microsoft-hosted agent - windows latest vs windows-latest

Viewed 319

In Azure DevOps Release Pipeline for a Agent Job I can choose either windows latest or windows-latest as Agent Specification for Agent pool Azure Pipelines. I have not seen this anywhere else and the documentation does not mention it either. Given that documentation mentions windows-latest I will use that.

Is this a legacy name that will be removed or where does it come from? I have not noticed this before.
