Privacy Watchdog Pleased with Microsoft’s Data Collection Tweaks in Windows 10

As Microsoft has promised, this build of Windows 10 contains improvements over Threshold 2 (aka Build 10586), the previous build of Windows that was released in November 2015.

The Slack app enables users to communicate with team members, providing options to organise conversations filtered by topics, projects and other options.

Build 15002 comes packed full of great new additions, including the ability to pause updates, new features for Edge, Cortana, Windows Ink and Windows Defender, smoother windows resizing, and more.

“Pick where you left off”, downloadable themes, Reset app, and more! Background music controls are being added, and Cortana will have a new design.
