New Windows 10 Technical Preview build's '7,000 new changes' include notifications

"You'll see notifications from the system and apps--from new emails and invites to IMs, FacebookFacebook posts and more--all in one place, so you don't miss a thing," Aul wrote. Quick actions and a cleaner user interface will come later, he said. Alles zu Facebook auf CIO.de

The new build also adds a command to move apps quickly from one monitor to another: Windows-Shift-[a cursor key], adding to the keyboard shortcuts already in place. Microsoft also added an animation to indicate when a user is switching virtual desktops.

If these aren't the features you want to see added, vote! Over 250,000 pieces of feedback have been sent to Microsoft via the Windows Feedback tool, 25,381 community forum posts, and 641 suggestions in the Windows Suggestion Box, Aul said. The latter category is where users have been busy suggesting new features for Windows 10. 

Steps forward, and back

The new build also allows users to be even more adventurous. (Follow our installation guide to mitigate your Windows 10 risk.) A new option in the "Preview Builds" menu of the "Update and Recovery" tab allows users to select either a "slow" or "fast" circle--to receive code either slowly, after the community tests it, or almost immediately. Naturally, the "fast" circle will also put users on the fast track to additional bugs. The build that Microsoft deployed today was sent to its own internal "Canary" team about 1.5 weeks ago, Aul wrote.
