Being using it fairly heavy since release and not had one crash.
Can you play games on it yet? Only reason I'm holding back in case of surprise Dark Souls times.

anyone have an issue not being able to connect to the skype app? i haven't been able to connect since forever. unsure if it's wifi problem or windows 10.
I'm having trouble also. It definitely seems to be a Windows 10 problem.
i think it's wifi. i've been having limited wifi issues. no problem before W10. hopefully it's just incompatible drivers (will check if theres an update) but yeah. :\
some of the the apps don't work because of bad connection
Well to be more specific, for me it seems to be a problem with the Skype Metro (or whatever you want to call it nowadays) app on Windows 10. It's impossible for me to sign in with the app, but if I download the desktop version everything works fine.
have you had any trouble downloading apps from the store? i was trying to download the music deal app and it wouldn't sometimes. give it a go and see. also some other stuff happens to as well. wish i can figure this out lol.

Congrats @neowinfeed for spotting MKV playback in Media Player in 9860. I can now make it official: Win10 supports MKV codec out of the box.
Did Windows 8 not have it?

Part of PowerShell - don't see a frontend GUI in the near future.
coolsies.Native MKV support:
Some of you have noticed that Build 9860 brought native support for the MKV file format. In Build 9879, were making the experience more complete. You can now play MKV files directly from Windows Media Player (as well as other desktop and modern apps), MKV files will show thumbnails and metadata in File Explorer, support for DLNA and Play To scenarios has been added, and more. We recently brought MKV support to the Xbox One. We also added platform support for H.265 HEVC for Windows 10 as well, and were not done here yet. More news to come on this later.
eh i'll wait for the next build to upgrade.
this preview is on fast right? i put it on slow.if you're already using the Windows 10 preview, just FYI updates are all automatic and you cannot turn them off. Part of the deal signing up for a preview. So if you don't force the new preview build to install now, it'll install automatically some time in the next week.

Windows X.10? So 8.1 was Windows 9?
Also there is a major IE update in this preview. 2000+ fixes, 19 new platform features and a new architecture designed for interoperability. Definitely worth a read, especially if you are a web developer: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/...e-edge-our-next-step-in-interoperability.aspx
OK, this is big. If they also make a user-friendly GUI version of this, it will be huge. No more "I don't know where all those ads and toolbars came from. I just wanted to download app X" problems with parents and relatives.
I've noticed new small folder icons.Which new icons are in?

That's about it so far that I've seen.
Well they work now, but the lights don't work on my keyboard.
I appreciate the improvements for developers, but unless things have changed since the initial preview I don't like the "Run Admin in Admin Approval Mode" setting as a requirement for modern apps. Messes with source code management and various scripting tools that require real admin rights while simultaneously calling into apps installed into user 2nd class admin. I'm going to put psexec everywhere which is pretty annoying. Been deferring this for years because Windows 8 build/test was always a manual once per release thing while win7 is continuous. If there is a registry or system hack somewhere to remove this requirement I will script it when imaging/setting up all PCs.
