This confirms what I wrote in the thread of the previous build, Microsoft will eliminate those unnecessary spaces in the tile view for RS5, as usual, Microsoft implements a change in one build and announces it in the next.

This build has some interesting stuff going on. Already getting excited to see next version of Windows being completed. :)

Remember, they have made changes so the offline install stage is shorter, so they do a larger portion inside(Online) of Windows.

For those stuck at the 100% preparing, mine was stuck there for a long time also. So just let it sit...
