From PC World: Windows 10 is actually pretty great. But Microsoft hasn’t rested on its laurels: Better messaging, improved device activation, and media casting comprise several significant improvements within the first major patch to Windows 10 since its release in July.
A couple million users helped Microsoft evaluate Windows 10 before its launch. More than 110 million have already downloaded it since then. Today, with the release of the November Update, formerly known as “Threshold 2,” both groups are on the same footing: Microsoft’s update takes many of these features out of preview and adds them to the “stable” build of Windows 10. And it’s not just the PC that’s receiving an update; Microsoft is launching the New Xbox One Experience (NXOE) for its game console, too.
Microsoft has released five previews since July. All but arguably the first two have added notable features while also fixing bugs (and introducing some, within the beta build environment) along the way. (Microsoft told us right before the launch that the latest beta build represents the “release candidate” for the update, essentially rolling up the previous builds into a public release.)
We’ve picked five improvements we think you’ll like most, based on what we’ve seen of them in the beta builds that Microsoft released before the launch.
