Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 16215 PC + 15222 Mobile Insider

Yes, the slide rule required you to think. You need to understand what "order of magnitude" meant. But slide rules are no longer made - anywhere in the world.

I still have one somewhere. It was the computer of my days in college.

Phsst - new fangled slide rules. Log tables are for real engineers .

I used them too. Slide rules were for quick estimates, although I did once use a tubular spiral slide rule which was as accurate as a log table.

A little annoyed with 16215... I had to completely blow out my Dell 6210 laptop with SSD to clean install a retail build I had on an ISO, then upgrade to the most recent consumer upgrade, and ONLY THEN, was I able to rejoin insider preview, enable fast ring, then successfully upgrade to 16215. Holy crap did that annoy. Thankfully, this is my playing around machine, and it doesn't actually matter to me if I blow it out.

Joey, Joey, Joey . . . That's what being an Insider is all about! Two steps forward and three backward!

Sheesh, I thunk you knew that! Group Hug all around.

You shoulda seen what I had to go through to get Build 16215 onto my old HP Laptop that came with Vista! Now that was a trip, to say the least!
