It did for me the two times I tried.
Though the first time was a really unpleasant experience: It restored my apps, and my layout, but somehow didn't registered that the tiles were for the installed apps. I had to repin and re-arrange all over again.
The second time it was almost perfect, it only missed two apps: (Here Drive and Here Transit) that the tile appears, but it says from the new store that they have been delisted.

this.
I feel like the WP crowd is more reasonable... I don't care about the benchmarks, on every computer, tablet, low end, high end, I have tried, IE is still obviously faster than Edge.... ad blocking same on both, via HOSTS.
I worry phones will be the same, but it is more worrisome on real computers...

Have you read this thread? It goes from "man the new build is absolute shit" to "I love the new build" to "where the hell are the flagships" to "man the 'flagships' don't look to hot" etc.
To be fair, apart from everything being subjective, the builds seem to be running differently on different phones and certain bugs seem to be individual and based on whether you reset your phone etc.
The curious thing for me is how quickly the last build (10166) deteriorated. The new build seems to be a lot more stable apart from the lock screen bug, but I'm slightly hesitant to be too positive about it considering it may well go downhill as quickly as the last one, even though at the moment there's no signs of that yet.
If it stays as it is and if it runs the same on all phones as it does on my 1020, I'd say that it's very close to being useable as a main driver. Even on holiday.

But the new builds usually are loved for the first 10 minutes because they've fixed things. Then after that people realise how shit they still are.Have you read this thread?

Everybody wanted to know where the flagships were, then they announced some plastic bodied software button nonsense. So like, all valid points to be fair.

He just needs a good team Medic and Physio, then things will be all right.

Well, I mean that leaked nonsense. But we all know they'll disappoint, that's how it works.
What a team. What great men.
It was frustrating to use on my Icon with a ton of lock ups, crashes, and random reboots, but after I reset my phone the issues have been tolerable.
I thought the same thing, reading about the mobile hotspot bug.

Slack app is awesome, and wow is it nice when devs actually make the UI scale for large screen/high res devices.

But what do I do if instead of having 3 options I need accessible from the main page, I need 6? Or 8, or any number that makes separate tabs problematic.
Yeah it's getting a lot better.

The lass sitting next to me in my dentist's waiting room had a 735. I didn't have mine with me, so that was an opportunity to connect with a kindred spirit missed. :-(

heck yeah if any of this is true.
I am doubting the slim Xbox because of the bundles they've already announced. Some of which have custom designs on them.
Well it sounds like they will drop the disc drive and introduce it as a smaller device. I could see both designs living on.

I asume they want to take some space between the iPhone 6S announcement and theirs. At least it won't get drown out in the Apple media blitz.
Could it be that streaming box rumored last year?
Hmm, yeah, I guess since it is disc-less they would still be targeting different buyers.
Man I need to sell this Band. Never used it (first one broke never worn this one). Just don't wear watches or anything on my arm.
I'm dying for a 950 XL, Surface Pro 4, and/or Surface Mini

Well I got a Surface pro 3 at launch so I won't be upgrading tablets for a while. I am definitely ready to move on from my Galaxy 3 variant Ativ S Neo. The band also seem to have the right ideas but the first version was too clunky. If they can produce a slimmer, comfortable version I'm down.

I'm in for the SP4 and 950. I hope they do some kind of "trade in your SP3 for a discount" program.

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
Actually I'll say I'm not dying for a Surface Pro 4 since work bought me a Pro 3. I just want to see what's new. The others I NEED
