A few days ago, a new build of Windows 10, 9901, leaked to the Internet. Unlike previous Technical Preview builds, this build was not intended to be released to a wide group of testers. It is not possible to upgrade to this build via the Windows Insider release cycle. Nevertheless, the leaked build contains a lot of interesting changes that I would like to share here.

thanks for the new changelog about Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9901!
what is revamped means?
“reimagined”
oh
I am so sick and tired of Windows. Shit code written by useless Indians, I wouldn’t even bother pirating it much less pay actual money for it. Microsoft will have to pay me to use it. Windows is only required for dumb people. Dumb people need computers too after all and they can’t operate Linux.
Here we go again. The hunt will be on for drivers, if they become available as our older hardware will no longer work. I’m using win 10 preview right now but none of my win 7 drivers will work even in compatibility mode. F8 no longer gets you into safe mode I found out because trying to install a video driver made my computer unbootable so I wanted to uninstall it but safe mode isn’t working for me. My wireless driver won’t work so I have to use ethernet. But, it does seem pretty quick and peppy even with 2 gigs of ram. Just can’t see spending more $$$ to do the same thing that XP and Win 7 do very well.
Well, sounds reasonable.
