Hello, Its Gabe again from here in the Operating Systems Group (OSG), with more Windows 10 updates. As I mentioned in my blog last month, we have over 1.5 million registered Windows Insiders – and its a very hands-on group. In fact, Windows Insiders are using Windows 10 preview builds more actively than with any prior beta release of Windows. With new features and events just around the corner, being an Insider is sure to get even more exciting. Heres a quick summary of what you need to know: Windows 10: The next chapter (9:00 a.m. PST, January 21, 2015) ◾ Our Windows 10 event is quickly approaching! Satya Nadella, Chief Executive Officer, and other senior Microsoft executives will be sharing more on the Windows vision, including news of a major, new Windows 10 build.
