I just hope they fix Metro Snap so its at least as usable as it is in 8.1. The last build of 10 that I used Snap was useless for Metro Apps on my monitors. Desktop wise it was better but they screwed it up on the Metro side.
Something else I really wish they would change is the requirement for a "Certified" Windows to Go thumb drive. We should be allowed to use any drive as long as its big enough in capacity. I'm referring to the official Windows To Go utility in Enterprise. And yes, I know all about the roll your own variants on the go. That's a whole other story that I won't bore you with in this thread.
I installed build 10.0.9901 on bare metal and hated it !
I took some precious hours trying to understand how it is supposed to work, but simply couldn't do simple tasks efficiently ...

The issue for me is that all the keys on my keyboard are backlit, and so none of them have worked since the last official build. It's turned some of my typed sentences into alphabet soup. Hahaha
That said, it's annoying, but not a dealbreaker, especially in a preview build.
Yeah, that build was all kinds of buggy.
This should be a good release - it's had a bit of time to mature behind the scenes.
They're packing everything into it - so it will be buggy
10.0.99xx ??? Shouldn't that be 10.0.1 ? Oh well, it's they're release schema
Codenames are usually for internal use - but what is better than awesome?
Ultra-awesome, Mega-awesome, Awesome 2.0 have been mentioned.
Awesome and Spartan are cooler than Metro (a train?) or Immersive (swimming ... therapy?)
The one I'm curious about, and Brink might have on this, is Continuum
Wasn't Q from the Continuum?
MS won't issue the errata until the RTM - they'll only let us know what they're planning to put in a Preview Release.
Superfly, thanks for that screen shot. Glad to see that purple is gone, might help folks who are colorblind read what they're doing. I'm not colorblind, but the contrast on the Win8 style install screen was very difficult to read

Here's a cool idea!
Download the 'Awesome' iso the night before the briefing, install it, then your copy goes live when they go live with the briefing and it becomes a briefing/tutorial all in one!
No?
Okay, just a thought. :)
