Bug fixing, still not RTM

Microsoft has just released the latest preview build of Windows 10 and the focus is on big fixing and fit and finish touches.

The release is called Preview Build 10166 and at this point there are no more features that the company plans to add, unless it's something really big and really well hidden. This latest preview release brings a new trial to Seattle area users, who can purchase paid Wi-Fi through the Windows Store, via the Microsoft Wi-Fi app

The Microsoft Wi-Fi is app what you used to know as Skype Wi-Fi and in case you want to give it a try you will be able to purchase pass with a credit or debit card, a Microsoft gift card, or via PayPal. We just finished the update and noticed that the Groove app is now part of the Windows 10. Groove used to be called Xbox music.

There are a few minor updates to the Edge browser in this release, and Microsoft claims that localhost support is now re-enabled by default. This is very important for any network savvy person, or an engineer.

The Release To Manufacturing (RTM) version is still highly anticipated but probably wont come before next week. The official Windows 10 date is still July 29th.
