Your Build 9860 Evaluation
Been using Build 9860 for a greater part of the day. I realize this is beta, but:
I know I can configure to use the Start Screen, but trying the Start Menu out first and can’t boot to Start Screen yet. The Start Menu is a mess to the point of a joke no matter how many tiles I can fit on it. I'd rather have full screen. Difficult for me since I didn't use the Start Menu to begin with. The Start Screen is much more efficient. I liked it better when it returned to the Start Screen when closing out apps and/or the desktop portal. Now I'm left to look at an empty desktop only to push the WinKey again for a small menu.
No Modern version of IE yet. Hopefully that will come.
They ruined search. It doesn't give the option of where to search even with keyboard shortcuts. WinKey/Q/F/& S all search "Everywhere". It's also slow as pouring honey in the Artic. As of now anyway.
Not sure about Store apps running on the desktop. Snapping is a joke as seen below. The Store apps don't adhere to equilateral quadrants. I've read others complain about this, so it's not the monitor. Virtual desktops may make up for this flaw if it turns out like this.

Task view is really WinKey/Tab for the switcher on the desktop instead of the right bar. It also shows the plus bar at the bottom for other additional desktops. I may like getting used to this.

Alt/F4 continues to clos Win32 apps, but not Store apps as in 8.x. This is a must for me for it forces me to use the useless mouse to do so. Very inefficient.
I dislike the black title bar at the top of Store apps. They ruined the clean look. At least WinKey/C gives me the "App Commands" aka Charms.
