Greetings from Holly Jerusalem
when can we download Windows 10 build 9888 and how?

It's not available for download yet and the next build should/could be the consumer release so the build number is up to guess at this point.

Jeff

it is if you look in right place

I don't think MS appreciated me running a leaked copy of 9888 cuz weird things started happening (AGAIN!)
Plus the fact that it wasn't a legitimate build so no service or updates were going to happen anyway.
I've already ditched it.

I did a clean install when I tried it is lot more buggy than the others not using it now

Here's some pics anyway:

'Security and Maintenance' icon doesn't reside on the taskbar by default:



Settings are all rolled into one plus the addition of a search bar:



Downloading offline maps, (which Shawn posted about elsewhere), works but is unusable:



That's about it!

I hear ya! :)
One thing I noticed, many Modern apps seemed to be a little more sophisticated feature wise.

This is a big jump for the Windows platform with the current 6.0 kernel version having been used since the Vista era.

This is just Hyperbole, it's the same Vista kernel design with a new version number, literally nothing new has been added or changed other than the version number.

Most of the Windows 10 air-time has so far been about the new 'animations' than actual changes and new features... The 'big jump for the Windows platform' is so far limited to windowed Metro applications and another new start-menu/startscreen

Hi there

Maybe my English is getting rusty but exactly WHAT does this mean -- Works but unuseable !!!!!!.

Perhaps I should use that as an excuse to a boss when a project is behind schedule !!!.

Cheers

no it don't fix the keyboard light problem or the mail and onenote wont update problem either

Thanks, you saved me a lot of work hunting this down, installing it -- and then finding out that was a waste of time!

IMO, it is a waste of time. If you download and try a pirated interim build, during a public test period, you could often have to take what you get, without comment.
I am sure this build was not a sequential upgrade/improvement, from the previous release, but only for a specific in-house, trial - probably the one that fixes the blue screen issue.
