And it looks as if we'll have to put up with it for at least 1 more day.
Dona Sarkar on Twitter: Hey #WindowsInsiders : we're going to be in engineering reviews today so no new builds. I'll take pics of funny things & report back :)

I'm guessing that a new build will be released tomorrow. Buildfeed's Canary Build is 14913 now (2 builds since I looked yesterday). While it is a kinda fun to guess when an Insider build will appear its more like the saying we had in HS (Fun for the feeble).
Two of the apps (Mail and Calendar, Weather) are first class. I'd like to see the possibility of more (and possibly drastic) personalization of the DE. Perhaps I'm just jaded by the more than a dozen desktop environments available in Linux. Yes bring back Microsoft Bob for the 21st century. Maybe a user defined Cortana persona. I don't think Microsoft culture and business practices will allow users to have more control over their computing experience. What with them moving to Windows Enterprise to a subscription service and Windows 7/8.1 heavy handed intrusion on user choice this doesn't seem likely.
Looks like I may be wrong about that new preview build today. If I go back to the 1511 will my Insider Build choices be rs1-release and RS-PRERELEASE? This is what shows in a Windows 10 Pro VM I can't seem to upgrade to 1607.
I like Maps, People, and Photos, also. I would like Cortana if it would ever work consistently. I would probably like Edge if it would acquire new extension that I use on IE and FireFox. In Photos, when you open a photo, there are many editing tools available. Haven't really used them extensively but they look promising.
