New build 10041 installed... installation screen looks good, took some time but I see where they're going. Definitely experienced a few of their issues noted on the Known Issues on the Insider Hub like the high font sizes appearing too large, or unable to sign in. Even when I changed resolution...

Since the Xbox one had the sign-in via facial recognition with Kinect, it made sense to have this in for Win10 especially for the SP3.

Hmm, no issues with those apps for me. Still on build 9926 and updated Definitions and a few other small items, but no Office updates.

Every now and then, I open the Insider Hub app which is very useful as it points out some of the new features and asks you to complete a mission. Sorta like a game, then afterwards, you can give feedback. The Insider Hub also gives you insight on features or a little blurb on what's coming...

Looks like you weren't far off... Cortana is supposedly headed to these platforms, so maybe other items might be down the road http://www.cnet.com/news/microsofts-cortana-will-find-its-way-to-ios-android-report-says/

Unfortunately it's not supported yet due to licensing. My bad as I know many of us tend to install and run apps from the Google Play store. I hope they're working on this soon with future updates.

If you have the disk space and are running VS, this is something to check out... http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudioalm/archive/2015/02/23/the-visual-studio-emulator-for-android-in-vs2015-ctp6.aspx...

Microsoft has a new foldable BT keyboard which works with android devices. No trackpad but very small and foldable with a magnet cover to stay closed. http://www.androidcentral.com/hands-microsofts-portable-universal-foldable-keyboard

Here's the GPS module I'm using, thanks to @sharpcolorado I believe recommended this... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001R1OO1W/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A110MBRL8XO94E I just use the Maps software part of Win10.

I've been considering mounting my SP3 since I bought an external GPS for navigation. I highly recommend Ram Mounts especially their X-Grip line which I have for my cell phone on my motorcycle and car http://rammount.com/products/xgrip It is pricey but what you get is a trusted name brand and...

@EthanDavis Not sure you know the shortcut keys to adjust display brightness... Fn + Backspace = Decrease brightness Fn + Del = Increase brightness I agree though on having it back within the All Settings or Display. Not intuitive and/or missing.

Must be a new bug in Quicken 2015 as I don't see this in the 2014 version (on Win10).

If you're using Windows 10, there are definitely trackpad gestures which work great. Lots of similarities to Mac with the gestures and multi desktops... http://www.theverge.com/2014/11/12/7204851/windows-10-technical-preview-build-9879-features

Trade in any older Surface and receive unto $650. Maybe a good time to upgrade to a newer SP3! http://microsoftsurfacetrade.cexchange.com/online/home/index.rails

Nice GPS module @sharpcolorado ! I have 3 devices connected via BT and no problems on Win10... - Logitech K810 - Microsoft Sculpt Comfort Mouse - JLabs Crasher speaker

In addition to reinstalling IE, try setting your home page to blank. Does Chrome or FireFox start up slow if Google is set at your home page? Could point to a slow net connection? Also, make sure you don't have any viruses or spyware as something in the middle might be intercepting your data.

Good to know, thanks! Going to install this now. Its either an OS check and a fix on the text on the website, but I do hope they improve it for Win10TP.

@RémiM I use Chrome and IE11 and both show 64-bit. Were you able to get this installed?

Hmm, it's showing 64-bit for me but also its not compatible...

+1 It's a very nice BT mouse. Lucky for you the price is now lower!! I still paid lower than MSRP and only a few more dollars than you.
