-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [win10] Head representative's announcement: Close, very close: Let #WinTen1511 discussion begin! Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2015 20:14:20 -0800 From: Joseph Lee <joseph.lee22...@gmail.com> Reply-To: wi...@groups.io To: wi...@groups.io Hi current and prospective users of Windows 10: A few months ago, reputable sources such as tech enthusiast Paul Thurrott announced that Microsoft will be releasing an update to Windows 10 RTM (build 10240), and it appears we’re just few days away from meeting it. In order to prepare this list to accept questions about the Fall update (dubbed by Microsoft as Windows 10 Version 1511), I’ll now open the road for discussing Windows 10 Fall update (hereby referred to as hashtag #WinTen1511). Here’s what’s new in Version 1511: ·Skype comes to Windows 10 via three apps: Skype Phone (voice calls), Messaging (instant messages) and Video (video calling). ·You can now use your Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 product keys to activate Windows 10 during a clean install. ·In Settings/Update/Activation, your activation type will be shown (for many of you, it’ll show you’re activated thanks to digital entitlement). ·You can now use Cortana from a local account. ·Cortana now understands event reminders and can even order an Uber ride so you can go to your event. ·You can now tell Windows which printer should be set as your default printer. ·You can have more than 2000 tiles in Start Menu, and you can use up to four columns of tiles. ·In Task View, you can use the context menu to snap apps to the left or right half of the screen. ·Improvements to functionality and performance of UI Automation, which benefits screen readers (all screen readers represented on this forum are affected), including faster startup. For NVDA users, an annoying problem where Start button was incorrectly labeled as a list is finally fixed by Microsoft. ·You’ll be able to view a tab preview and send video content from Microsoft Edge, as well as ask Cortana about something from a PDF document when opened with Edge. ·Other new features, changes and bug fixes.

A few things to note: ·Microsoft hasn’t announced a firm date as to when Windows 10 Version 1511 will be released (various rumors point to this week, but it can change). ·Until Version 1511 (Fall update) is officially released, please use #WinTen1511 hashtag so people can filter their email clients (and for some of you, mute this hashtag). This is done so you and members of the public can search for relevant messages easily from the list archives. ·Some members of this list have been testing various Version 1511 features and are more than eager to answer your questions. For those who’ve tasted Fall update, please be patient and understanding when answering questions (hint: come to win10+Insiders list to find out how to become one of the first users to taste future versions of Windows 10). Thank you. As of now, let #WinTen1511 discussion begin (if you want, ask me offlist if you’d like to forward this to other lists).
