Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14361 Released (betanews.com)
An anonymous reader writes from a report via BetaNews: Windows Insider chief Dona Sarkar announced in a blog post that they are releasing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14361 for both PC and Mobile to Windows Insiders in the Fast ring. This new release includes new features, some improvements to existing features, and various bug fixes that the company hopes to iron out before the Windows 10 Anniversary Update. A LastPass extension for the Microsoft Edge browser, and Hyper-V Container, which will let you use Docker natively on Windows 10, has been added. A series of improvements have been made to Windows Ink, and the Settings app, which includes changes to the colors so it's more obvious where you are. The Blu-ray icon and Network Quick Action icon have also been updated. You can read the full list of improvements and fixes for PC here.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have backups to corrupt.
Windows 10 is just another way to say 'Herpes'.
~ People that think they are better than anyone else for any reason are the cause of all the strife in the world.
Does this docker image allow for micro instances of both linux and windows or strictly windows?
This matters to me as I have a ridiculously overpowered workstation (Thank you MS/FB for selling all your 2011 v2s for pennies) that would be able to run Docker machines without breaking a sweat. I wouldn't bother with Windows Images, but Linux images would be awesome.

Hey, like you, I don't like Edge, but not like you, I appreciate the ability to file bugs that unlike any other browser comes with using Nightly, keep on top of your bugs and they do get fixed... for the most part and I 've had a better track record with Nightly than release versions of the other browsers, which largely revolves around how I'm visually impaired and how browsers respond when I crank the font size up... got a tracking bug on elements of Nightly that do not play nicely with Windows 10 default font sizes set to 20. Microsoft does its part in messing with me by resetting the default font sizes to 9 every time it installs a build, which it probably will do again when I download this build.
"The Blu-ray icon and Network Quick Action icon have also been updated"
Updated icons? Good lord, will this astounding innovation ever stop?

Yes! Edge HAS Adblock Plus, starting with Insider Build 14342. Testing it in Virtual Box, working as advertised. Not quite enough for me to switch from Chrome, but this puts Edge ahead of mobile Safari or mobile Chrome, which to my knowledge still do not support extensions (if Google permits AdBlocking extensions on Android, I'd like to know about it).
Take it easy, Charlie, I've got an Angle...
A semicolon would have been inappropriate there; "they're fundamental" shouldn't be separated from the rest of the sentence that way. The hyphen was used correctly, though I could have also used parentheses. I chose not to because the formatting of my sentence was specifically crafted to use a hyphen (in order to highlight the errors the AC committed).
If you have the licenses you can run Windows VMs (including virtualized copies of appropriately licensed physical machine), and you can run some Linux VM (Ubuntu, Red Hat, Cent, and SuSE). Other operating systems (non-blessed Linux versions, OS X, BSD Unix, Haiku, Solaris, IllumnOS, etc) generally do not work at all.
I'm starting to think GNU is the problem with "GNU/Linux" these days.
Can it do noscript and adblock? If not, it's not worth looking at. Maybe Firefox is slow to some people, but with most javascript disabled it's feels pretty responsive to me. I don't know how you'd get a "superior brownsing experience".
why you need to download a new os and nuke your settings, which it says it preserves.
the real problem with using a combo of windows 10, visual studio(latest megauberblabla kit), chrome and firefox is....
that it becomes almost impossible to tell if you have actually a virus or some bitcoin miner on your kit. because of the virtualization and shadow copies and other ntfs options and pisspoor firewall defaults and even poorer cert management/verifying, and stuffing everything to run in the services process for no reason at all.
and since ms decided to enable by default all different sorts of ways to tunnel data(for their shitty telemetrics, no doubt) you can't easily just throw it behind a router/firewall either. you have to disable half the operating system after install.
and then fuckin' google comes in and decides to not give an option to disable webrtc on android chrome, so wtf, should I put then on separate networks?
- and you know what they actually want you to do? buy a friggin MDM solution. MS is to blame for a lot of shit on windows 10 but thats just because they're copying stuff from others.
coming up on next version: pay a software provider a fee that the sw provider uses to pay MS for a license : to install a proper firewall! I mean, samsung is getting away with that shit already on android(yes, samsung provides apis for uninstalling bloatware, adjusting fw and everything on non-rooted android devices, but it involves a license from them. if you ever wondered why there isn't a free working system package disabler for latest galaxy devices then that is it, you need to have an enterprise license to enable that functionality without rooting).
