Those new folder icons are interesting. Also seems to be a new option in PC Settings called "Storage Sense".

Storage Sense came over from Windows Phone. I'm not sure I know exactly what it does.

Looks like it breaks down what's using your various storage drives into categories like "System and Reserved", "Desktop Apps", "Pictures, Music and Video" etc.

It's also got a "Save Locations" subheader that allows you to choose where to save new pictures, videos, music and documents.

Installing

I wish theyd add a progress bar, I have no idea how much more I've got to download.

First is up and running, took about 50 minutes to install, second took 46 minutes to download @ 10.56 mbits (OOKLA), will install tomorrow.

Install finally done.

Microsoft Solitaire Collection does work!! That was my biggest concern of course. Now I can stuff this newest build on my Surface Pro!! :)

Couple of issues:
1. Numeric keypad is never recognized at all in any place. Stroking those keys gets me nada.
2. Onscreen keypad won't come up In the login screen.
3. NewsgroupsRT still has a cursor issue when the auto-wrap happens in a response.

Nothing earth shaking, just relatively minor irritants though the numeric keypad one is a bigger minor problem.
