encounter something more along the lines of a one month turnaround. With the initial
releaseoftheWindows10TechnicalPreview,Build9841,beingonSeptember30,2014,
followedbyBuild9860onOctober21,andBuild9879onNovember12,wewereofftoa
great start around three weeks between each release. Between Build 9879 and Build

ifMicrosoft hadbeen abletokeepupwith theirrapidreleaseschedule, weshouldhave

According to a recent tweet by Gabriel Aul, of Microsoft's Windows Insider program, the
Windows10developershavebeenbattlingonebugthat'spreventingthemfromreleasing
another build to the Fast ring [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Insider] of the Windows
Insider program. In addition, he added a post on the Blogging Windows site titled
"Frequency and predictability of builds for Windows Insiders
[http://blogs.windows.com/bloggingwindows/2015/03/09/frequencyandpredictabilityofbuildsfor
windowsinsiders/],"wherehetalksaboutthebuildandreleasecycleforWindows10.

Oh, and before I move on here, I should point out that Aul also tweeted
[https://twitter.com/GabeAul/status/577491259666739200]that10036willnotbethenextofficial

Whilethere'snoguaranteethatthesefeatureswillbeinthenextbuild,itmakessensethat

As you may remember, back in November of 2014, I wrote about Windows 10's virtual
desktopfeaturecalledTaskView.WhileIwasveryimpressedwithTaskViewatthattime,I
wrotethatithadaverybasicfeaturesetthatIimaginedwouldbeaddedtointhefuture.
Well, according to those who downloaded and installed Build 10036, Task View has two
newfeaturesworthnoting.
First,inthecurrentbuildsofWindows10,alldesktopssharethesameTaskbar.Theonly
way to tell which buttons are which on the Taskbar is by a very subtle overlay. Taskbar
buttonsofapplicationsrunningonthecurrentdesktophaveatranslucentoverlayontopof
them.WithTaskbarbuttonsofapplicationsthatarerunningonadifferentdesktop,you'llsee
thatthetranslucentoverlayactuallyappearsbelowthebutton'sicon.Whilethatworks,it's
notveryintuitive.
In Build 10036, you have the option to configure Task view to only show buttons on the
Taskbar for applications that are open on a particular the desktop. In other words, each
desktophasitsownTaskbar.Thisfeaturewillreallymakeiteasiertotakeadvantageof

In the current builds of Windows 10, the Start Menu looks like Microsoft has basically
graftedtheStartScreenontotheStartMenu.Ontheleftsideofthemenu,you'llfindallyour

10036, as in Build 9926, you can maximize expand the Start Menu to full screen mode.
