Cortana and Continuum expected in Jan '15 Technical Preview

[sharpuser]

Lots of buzz that Cortana and Continuum are to be included in the January 2015 Technical Preview, but not in the Consumer Preview.

Ah, the waiting continuum

I found around the web that continuum is enable on the latest leak build 9901. Could you confirm that ? I'm downloading the ISO right now.

I am avoiding leaked builds, which is why I did not install 9888.
There may be a day coming soon when installing a leaked build will lock you out of released builds.

But the news is exciting. Cortana will be a nice addition.

tested and even after update, no continuum and cortona seem broken.

edit: since 9879 build you can enable a piece of continuum with a registry key

Is the January build expected to have Spartan?

Everyone, I tried installing 9901 on my Surface Pro 3, and the graphics performance was really poor.

I realized that it doesn't recognize the display adapter ("Generic Microsoft" instead of "Intel(R) HD Graphics Family")

Does anyone know where I can find the drivers in order to get it to work properly? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Build 9901 has not been released, and probably never will. By installing leaked software, you may be inadvertently removing yourself from being able to install the next released Build without major inconvenience.

So hang on, @Rouzbeh0, for about another ten days.

Here is how the monitor would appear with official Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9879.
