10162 is rolling out today for fast ringers
http://www.windowscentral.com/micro...s-10-pc-build-10162-release-fast-ring-members

We just released Build 10159 with our new wallpaper and logon UI on Tuesday, but this is a holiday weekend in the US and we thought that some of you might want to get an even fresher build on your PCs to play with over the long weekend. Build 10162 is another great one. In fact, our testing and internal telemetry metrics show it has better reliability, performance, battery life, and compatibility than any Windows 10 Insider Preview build so far.

10166 PC is out for fast ringers

For those of you on older builds – now is definitely the time to upgrade to the most current build. Grab 10166 from Windows Update today or build 10162 ISOs from the Windows Insider Program website. Thank you to all of our Windows Insiders who have given us terrific feedback and helped us shape Windows 10. We’re getting close to release now and the whole team here is working hard and incredibly excited!

I agree. if ur at work, there's no need for tiles and apps and all that unecessary bullshyt. windows 7 will be the new windows xp of the workplace for quite a few years to come I believe.
As it should be. It's about as close to "just working" for 99% of users that there's no logical reason to upgrade on the enterprise level.

Live tiles are gonna be a lot more useful now that people are actually gonna be more apt to look at them.

For a business person viewing the latest stock update, incoming mail, or calendar appointment without having to open the app or pick up their phone could be a big deal. You also get notifications too :yeshrug:

The Verge just put out it's review for Windows 10:

Microsoft's new Windows 10 operating system is finally here. Windows 10 is a realization of Microsoft's big dream to have a single Windows that runs across all its products. Does it succeed?

Been messing with Windows 10 on a Lumia 640.

As far as phone interfaces go live tiles>>>icons and widgets

Battery life is excellent and performance is consistent from low end to high end.

Of course there's always the app gap. I was fine using what was provided in the store but it's inexcusable to some people to be missing things like banking apps and many multimedia streaming platforms.

That aside. Edge is an awesome browser, Cortana is easily the most personable assistant, and being able to use Maps offline is a great feature.

I'll wait to judge fully when The Lumia 950 and 950xl come out. Plus Continuum is a dope concept to have your phone be your PC.

Had to go back to my OnePlus One as daily because sometimes the phone freezes during calls but MS is headed in the right direction here.
