October 1, 2014 was a major milestone for Microsoft’s Windows 10 operating system. The tech giant officially released the technical preview of Windows 10. The tech preview went viral. Media reports say that Microsoft is aiming at bringing Windows back into full force through its Windows 10 OS.
Windows 10 Tech Preview for Select Users
What is bad news for Windows 10 fans is that the tech preview is made available only for select users and those who are members of Microsoft’s Windows Insider Program. Until now, the software giant released updates to its Windows 10 tech preview. The first build was released on 21st October 2014, 20 days after the first Windows 10 release. The second build was released on November 12, 2014. Microsoft brought a number of changes, modifications and fixes to its Windows 10 through each of the builds.
According to sources privy to Microsoft’s Windows 10 developer’s team, the first build contained more than 7000 fixes and improvements. The second build that was released on 12th November 2014 also brought some remarkable improvements, the most notable one being the ability to make Search button and Task View disappear. In addition to this, improvements have been added to OneDrive, 3 finger gestures and Internet Explorer.
Third Build (10.0.9888) Announced
The third build for Windows 10 has already been announced. However, Microsoft hasn’t made it publicly available. This build seems to contain features like un-maximize animations, new maximize, redesigned Settings application, visual changes in context menus and new version number.
Microsoft to Release Windows 10 Consumer Preview Early Next Year
Sources privy to Microsoft reveal that the first second phase of Windows 10 release, the Consumer preview, will be released early next year. It is reported that build 9888 will be the final update for Windows 10 technical preview and will be succeeded by Windows 10 Consumer preview.
Windows 10 Consumer Preview to Integrate More Features than Tech Preview
It is reported that the first release of Windows 10 Consumer preview will contain a slew of brand new features, even some features that the latest Windows 10 tech preview does not have. Among the features that are going to be newly introduced in the Consumer Preview, include the integration of Microsoft Cortana.
Millions of people across the world are awaiting the release of Windows 10 Consumer Preview. Reports suggest that no other operating system has created as much amount of enthusiasm and eagerness among people as Windows 10 did.
