I love how Cortana now talks to me during a fresh install, helping me to decide the settings that MS wants to have kept on, like feedback and having Cortana being my main way of searching. That was a first!

It didn't talk to me because sound drivers were late to install. They installed only after desktop was already running. It's a new Realtek CODEC chip (S1220-a) so it had to drag it in from the net. It eventually installed drivers but not Realtek HD Audio Center. In the mean time it's .cab was already on their server. Downloaded it myself and installed.

I have a ASUS Strix 7.1 USB headset (with lots of tiny little speakers :) ). Damn near jumped out of my chair when my barely running PC started talking to me in the middle of the night...

USB ports are first to start otherwise couldn't install system from it. At least voice is not bad although a bit patronizing.

Is this what's on tap tomorrow?. Compiled last Thursday.

10.0.16187.1000 (rs_prerelease.170427-1556)

martyfelker - How did you find out about this ????

Buildfeed is where most of us get the current build information: BuildFeed: The Windows build tracker

I certainly don't know for sure but it was put up a few hours ago on buildfeed.net. It is just a guess. Nothing may be released until Friday. But this is long enough for the release team to check out the Canary build internally I think.

I know it is bad form to ask a ladies age (I am not asking) but this reply makes me feel young :-D).

Age isn't important to me any more, Cereberus. :) It's just a number and how I feel is much more 'portant. Does 1937 ring any bells?

That's ten years before my time
