Supersite for Windows takes a quick look at Windows Technical Preview Build 9860

Now that I have finally updated all of my PCs to the latest Windows Technical Preview version, I can take a quick step back and see what we have here. In short, nothing profound, but a couple of nice functional additions, or more realistically, the start of a couple of nice functional additions. As Microsoft promised, the preview is coming in hot, and this build is not polished in any way.

That said, I would caution people testing the preview—or just reading about it—not to put too much into minor differences between builds. As Microsoft's Gabe Aul noted in the blog post announcing this first update, things are fluid. Some things from the initial preview build are different, or even broken, in this build. But that doesn't always indicate that Microsoft is on a certain path. Don't sweat the small stuff.

With that in mind, there is a lot of small stuff.
