Build 10036 is here
On Monday, Microsoft’s Gabriel Aul (general manager, OSG data and fundamentals team) admitted to the company erring on the side of caution and being “conservative” about releasing Windows 10 Technical Preview builds. Five days later, even as Aul and his team were still dithering over whether to speed up the release cadence in deference to public demand, a new Windows 10 build quietly leaked onto the web. For those keeping score at home, build 10036 is the third to have become available to the public in this manner and the seventh to have become available at all.
As pointed out by our friends over at Neowin, this build is from a “partner channel” and is therefore missing some of the features that Microsoft is known to be working on for the next public release. This one, for instance, does not have the Project Spartan browser.
What it does have are a number of subtle changes from the last officially released build (9926). Some of these include the ability to make the Start Menu/Start Screen transparent, a new Task View interface, redesigned login screen, new app management tools, and the option to receive OS updates and apps via peer-to-peer (P2P) technology.
The last one, which is perhaps the most interesting of the lot, is thought to be powered by the technology Microsoft acquired as part of its Feb 2013 acquisition of P2P content delivery provider Pando Networks.
An unofficial changelog can be found at this link.
