The Windows 10 release cycle and potential new
features revealed
As you may recall, when Microsoft began the Windows 10 Technical Preview program, they
were telling users that rather than three to six months between new test builds, we would
encounter something more along the lines of a one month turnaround. With the initial
release of the Windows 10 Technical Preview, Build 9841, being on September 30, 2014,
followed by Build 9860 on October 21, and Build 9879 on November 12, we were off to a
great start around three weeks between each release. Between Build 9879 and Build
9926, we had to wait about 10 weeks, but that was over the holidays, and Microsoft warned
us ahead of time that there would be a long lapse.

As of this writing, it has been close to eight weeks since Build 9926 arrived. In other words,
if Microsoft had been able to keep up with their rapid release schedule, we should have
been using a post9926 build of Windows 10 for around four weeks now. Alas, that isn't the
case.
According to a recent tweet by Gabriel Aul, of Microsoft's Windows Insider program, the
Windows 10 developers have been battling one bug that's preventing them from releasing
another build to the Fast ring [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Insider] of the Windows
Insider program. In addition, he added a post on the Blogging Windows site titled
"Frequency and predictability of builds for Windows Insiders
[http://blogs.windows.com/bloggingwindows/2015/03/09/frequencyandpredictabilityofbuildsfor
windowsinsiders/] ," where he talks about the build and release cycle for Windows 10.
Despite Microsoft's slack, Build 10036 unofficially leaked onto the web this past weekend
and is revealing some potential new features in Windows 10. Since we can't get our hands
on an official new build of Windows 10, I thought that I'd take a look at a couple of these
new features that will probably show up in the next official build whenever that may be.
Oh, and before I move on here, I should point out that Aul also tweeted
[https://twitter.com/GabeAul/status/577491259666739200] that 10036 will not be the next official
build.
While there's no guarantee that these features will be in the next build, it makes sense that
they'll eventually be a part of Windows 10.
As you may remember, back in November of 2014, I wrote about Windows 10's virtual
desktop feature called Task View. While I was very impressed with Task View at that time, I
wrote that it had a very basic feature set that I imagined would be added to in the future.
Well, according to those who downloaded and installed Build 10036, Task View has two
new features worth noting.
First, in the current builds of Windows 10, all desktops share the same Taskbar. The only
way to tell which buttons are which on the Taskbar is by a very subtle overlay. Taskbar
buttons of applications running on the current desktop have a translucent overlay on top of
them. With Taskbar buttons of applications that are running on a different desktop, you'll see
that the translucent overlay actually appears below the button's icon. While that works, it's
not very intuitive.
In Build 10036, you have the option to configure Task view to only show buttons on the
Taskbar for applications that are open on a particular the desktop. In other words, each
desktop has its own Taskbar. This feature will really make it easier to take advantage of
using multiple desktops to keep your work separated.
