jeez I hope they push a new build out soon this 9879 build is rubbish compared 9860 which was also rubbish compared to 9x40 so many things crapping out and not running 

Not until the new year.

Hopefully the huge kernel bump doesn't break compatibility with some older desktop software.

Personally, I think it's time to let go of some of the crud people are still trying to cling to.

 Rumor: presently the new builds are labelled "Consumer Preview", so there probably won't be any updates to build 9879 until public release of Consumer Preview. AFAIK, there were at least 4 updates for Partner builds, so there expects 2~3 further updates for Partner builds. :)

A Chinese OEM guy showed me this, and said it's 989x.If it is real(???), then task bar is no more transparent/translucent , and search is replaced by Cortana. :)

LOL, it took quite a while for Neowin to find that it's a legit shot...... and tks Brad for confirming it. :)

Take as rumor(add salt LOL): MS started work on aero-glass in Win10, from what I heard - "expect to appear in a test build some time in the future, no idea if it would appear in the Jan21 release or not".

btw, some guys had worries about MS "punishing" people download and run leaked builds, I had said a few times not to worry about it, but this time, it's from Gabriel Aul : :)

    • The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with adblockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Opera Air'. It still has some bloat, but nowhere near as much as Brave browser, for example. I have a system wide Adblocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the the web browser, but over the whole thing. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt adblocker because of that.

    • I'd trust open source stuff on github more then closed source binaries from Microsoft.
