14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft more or less broke its promise to bring Windows 10 builds to insiders faster and to ship Spartan in the current version of the Technical Preview, but the company is now trying to win back the hearts of some users with some new vows.
And this time the software giant says pretty much the same thing, as it wants to commit to a one build per month releases cycle for Windows 10, while also working hard to bring Spartan browser in the next version of the Technical Preview.
Obviously, it could be another long shot for Microsoft, given the fact that all these promises are based on products that are still under development, but the software giant is well aware of the fact that it cannot continue dealing with criticism when trying to release a new operating system based entirely on a close relationship with users.
First build in two months
Windows 10 build 10041 is the first build released in nearly two months, as the previous version was shipped by Microsoft in late January, soon after the event it held at its headquarters in Redmond.
In the meantime, Windows insiders who were hoping to get a new build were criticizing Microsoft for delaying new releases so much, despite the fact that it initially promised to ship fresh builds at least once a month.
Microsoft is now thinking of introducing a new release channel for Windows insiders that would provide them with daily builds as soon as they are compiled by the development team, but this is obviously a very risky decision, given the fact that the number of bugs would be significantly higher.
Right now, build 10041 is available for users enrolled in the fast ring only, but Microsoft has also promised to release it to the slow channel, together with stand-alone ISOs, as soon as possible.
As far as Spartan is concerned, you can already give its engine a try right now in the existing version of Internet Explorer, but the revamped UI and the new features would only land at a later time, most likely in April.
