Update waas-servicing-differences.md

Added two clarifications regarding Windows 10 preview updates.  I have consistently fielded questions about why they are 'missing' in people's enterprise environments.  It almost always boils down to one of these two notes: they either weren't published to WSUS or they are looking for the word 'Preview' in the title.

## Public preview releases
Lastly, the cumulative update model directly impacts the public Preview releases offered in the 3rd and/or 4th weeks of the month. Update Tuesday, also referred to as the "B" week release occurs on the second Tuesday of the month. It is always a required security update across all operating systems. In addition to this monthly release, Windows also releases non-security update "previews" targeting the 3rd (C) and the 4th (D) weeks of the month. These preview releases include that month’s B-release plus a set of non-security updates for testing and validation as a cumulative package. We recommend IT Administrators uses the C/D previews to test the update in their environments. Any issues identified with the updates in the C/D releases are identified and then fixed or removed, prior to being rolled up in to the next month’s B release package together with new security updates. Security-only Packages are not part of the C/D preview program.
>[!NOTE]
>Only the preview updates for most recent release of Windows 10 are published to Windows Server Update Services (WSUS). For customers using the WSUS channel and products such as System Center Configuration Manager that rely on it will not see preview updates for older version of Windows 10.
>[!NOTE]
>Preview updates for Windows 10 are not named differently than their LCU counterparts and do not contain the word 'Preview'. They can be identified by their release date (C or D week) and their classification as non-security updates.
