On May 29, Microsoft released a new preview of Windows 10 (build 10130) to the fast lane. This new build offers a number of improvements over the last official release, including a new set of icons, tuning, tweaking, and overall the operating system seems more stable and polished.

The company also noted that we will continue to see changes, but they won’t be so significant, as the Windows team is focus on fixing bugs and making Windows 10 stable for the July 29 release date, instead of introducing new features.

If you still patiently waiting for the official release instead of trying Windows 10 on a virtual machine or on a spare computer, and you still want to see what’s news in build 10130. Then you should watch the new video tour I have published on YouTube highlighting all the changes in the new build since Windows 10 build 10122, including:
