We hope you are enjoying the current build of Windows Technical Preview. We promised you’ll get the latest build as soon as it’s available. Today we’re rolling out the first update: Windows Technical Preview build 9860. If you’re using the computer when the update downloads, you will be prompted to reboot after which you’ll see the “Installing your apps” screen, and then the new build will be ready to use. If you leave your computer plugged in and on overnight, the update will be installed automatically. Once installed, the build number displayed on the desktop will be 9860. More information about build 9860 can be found here but some of the new features include: New notifications through Action Center Move apps to other monitors with new keyboard shortcut Choose how quickly you receive new builds Please keep letting us know what you think! We are using your feedback to build Windows 10. ================================================================= Updated on 24 Oct 2014 ================== Thank you, everyone, for letting us know about your experiences with our latest build! This has been a great discussion, and we’re reading every message! To that end, this thread has served its purpose of announcing the new Windows build, and will now be closed. To make it easier for everyone to get help with their individual issues in the latest version of Tech Preview, we encourage you to either join an existing thread focused on your specific issue, or create a thread of you own if one doesn’t already exist. Please keep the feedback coming!

Just for the heck of it, here's a snip of the feedback page. On web pages and the folder names of Window's live mail, I get strange symbols when the mouse passes over them.

The 64 bit bus is the show stopper at the moment. It produces a lot of heat and cost a lot to manufacture it to cool it. It probably in hands of the materials and cooling engineers.. For the real software engineer, I don't think they will have a problem producing the drivers, emulators and etc...to get it working. The reason for 8 bit, 16 bit , 32 bit, and 64 bits was because of data representation. The most common data is color representation. For example, JPEG use one of several combination structures to represent a pixel. RGB and intensity is one matrix and the other is location { (X, Y), Pixel Number, and Datums}. The location also include right to left, left to right, top to bottom or bottom to top. The third element is compression or the LOSSY algorithm. The need for 128 bit system can be emulated with compression routines and compression representation (bit structure manipulation). However, you do have a impressive computer hardware setup.

Dear Microsoft, please make windows 10 128 Bit Operating System for the first time in History in the next preview build....See the future now.... Please make changes to the Windows 10 Boot Up Screen Logo and also the change the colour. I am using a Desktop PC. I am using the AMD FX-8320 (8 Core Processors), and please make it optimized for 8 cores and beyond, so that it can take advantage in gaming and performance beyond imagine. Please also have DirectX 12 or more newer version available in Windows 10. My Highest Priority is to see WINDOWS 10 128 BIT OPERATING SYSTEM IN THE NEXT PREVIEW BUILDS...Also take note to change all Windows icons to a fresh new look and also include new desktop wallpaper in Windows 10... Please make this come true... Really Appreciate... Best Regards. Usually the CPU's come before the operating system and software. I haven't seen any 128bit CPU's on the market but then again, I haven't looked for a CPU in a few months.

I wish I had a doppelgänger..... snip... I have 2 profile profile pictures instead of 1 when i enter my password. Finally, you found your long lost twin brother. Amazing how much he looks like you. Bing can find anything. ;^)
