1392977 2015-01-24 23:56:00 I hope this replaces the previous build-specific thread.

I've just installed build 9926 and my initial impression (after about 5 mins) is favourable. The start menu changes are a definite improvement and the taskbar icons are much cleaner. It looks like the "modern" apps now start windowed rather than full screen - which is a definite improvement IMHO.

It get the impression it starts up a little faster (from glacial down to sluggish on my PC under VMplayer).

Still getting 2 avatars on the login screen.

No Cortana though - when are we going to see it? :angry

Cortana is currently officially location locked, I think to the US only?

Regardless, it's possible to get it with only a few minutes work.

Change location, system wide default language, and reboot. Think that's it :)

The two pix on the login screen seems to have been there from day one.. Seems not everyone gets it though.. Maybe it's something to do with the update process..??

I only had the two login avatars with the second preview.
