Microsoft Issues a Massive Windows 10 Anniversary Update Build for Insiders

Friday - Schmiday.

I know we have joked around about the Windows team not normally releasing new builds of Windows 10 on Friday's, something they used to say was not a regular occurrence, but with the release of Windows 10 Build 14328 for PCs and Mobile Devices today it happens as regular on Friday's as it does any other day of the week.

This week began with me discussing how the development of Windows, not Windows 10 Mobile or Windows 10 for PCs, runs parallel across Windows 10 itself because Windows is Windows no matter the platform.

When you learned about the Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14328 being released today for PCs and Mobile devices you should have had a small bit of déjà vu as you read this list of updates that arrived today for PCs:

Now granted, not everyone of the above additions in 14328 were also included in Windows 10 Mobile that received a large update earlier this week. However, if you go down that list you will quickly see that many of the features being worked for mobile are making it into desktop and vice versa. There will always be some areas that are uniquely desktop and/or mobile.

However, seeing the look and feel syncing together is encouraging because it should provide a steady core of Windows 10 across the ecosystem and that means we wil gain a lot of familiarity in the interfaces between these two key platforms.

I know that is not what everyone wants however, that is the concept of Windows 10 as an ecosystem across all types of screen sizes.

Microsoft is continuing that effort and have now got both the PC and mobile build releases synched back up as well.

I will be diving deeper into this huge Windows 10 Anniversary Update over the next few days and will bring you greater detail about all of the new enhancements that are included in this build.

But, wait...there's probably more so be sure to follow me on Twitter and Google+.
