    Now, when you uninstall in-box apps—like Mail, Maps, and the like—they will not be automatically reinstalled when you perform an OS upgrade. << Like that :)

    Windows 10 configures networks as public by default, which can disrupt connectivity with other devices on your network, including NAS storage. To fix this, be sure to change the network type to private. << Don't like that at all.

    Hope it's just fraction of things to come, most of it is already implemented in insider version. Update delivery has to be seriously updated. Right now updates for phones are in big trouble and other ones wait for long time too. My Lumia is sitting on Downloading updates on0% two days already and it's acknowledged that there is a problem.

    Maybe I should try that out, but I find it strange that it's not already standard in FE. I tried QTTabBar, but each time I open FE the tabs were gone and I had to re enable it.

    We just need to be patient, they are slooooowly starting to add stuff users have been begging years for, like virtual desktops, that Linux users have had for years, and a very basic API code, for it, has been a part Windows for a long time, just not implemented with a UI.

    Improved upgrade experience. Now, when you uninstall in-box apps—like Mail, Maps, and the like—they will not be automatically reinstalled when you perform an OS upgrade.
    ... except Edge and Cortana.
    Surprised the Store doesn't get re-installed automatically!

    Probably because Cortana IS search, and Edge IS Explorer now, which are (beginning to be)part of File Explore now.
