Windows 10 January Technical Preview build 99xx Change Log

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

You are welcome, and I totally agree :)

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. :)

That would be awesome... dunno about a leak though...Anyway looking forward to the webcast.

An odd schema that never made sense in my humble opinion... lol...

:)

Yup it is a bit confusing.. (I think RTM will be 10.0.10000) - also finally got my head around how they report builds... Milestone 1 (which is what we have now is Alpha, Milestone's 2 (assume Wednesday's release) and 3 are pre-beta, Release Preview is beta and RC post-beta (whatever that means)... That's the way I understand it anyway.

Whatever it's gonna be I'm anxious to know...

:)

I heard somewhere that the 15th was sign-off... thus I suspect 9924 will be the one.

NB: the screenshots (of I posted is obviously a previous build ?9920) shows only Windows 10 Technical Preview - no mention of January/Consumer etc... Will be interesting to hear what they call this build.
