Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14361 Released (betanews.com) 135
An anonymous reader writes from a report via BetaNews: Windows Insider chief Dona Sarkar announced in a blog post that they are releasing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14361 for both PC and Mobile to Windows Insiders in the Fast ring. This new release includes new features, some improvements to existing features, and various bug fixes that the company hopes to iron out before the Windows 10 Anniversary Update. A LastPass extension for the Microsoft Edge browser, and Hyper-V Container, which will let you use Docker natively on Windows 10, has been added. A series of improvements have been made to Windows Ink, and the Settings app, which includes changes to the colors so it's more obvious where you are. The Blu-ray icon and Network Quick Action icon have also been updated. You can read the full list of improvements and fixes for PC here.

Wow, you have anger management problems. That is incredibly clear through your history of extremely aggressive posts on here. I've seen you fly into massive fits of rage whenever someone posts or replies to you and expresses doubt that humans are causing global warming. It's as if, despite the extreme preponderance of evidence that humans aren't causing global warming, you're desperately wanting it to be true and lashing out at anyone who says otherwise. It sure seems that whenever someone says something you don't like, you feel that you have justification to attack them with little or no bounds to your bad behavior. Apparently your abusive posts extend beyond global warming. But no matter how much you say otherwise, Edge is a good browser and humans aren't causing global warming. Accept that people have different views than you, which are actually supported by strong evidence. Move on and chill out. You'll be glad you did.
Ok, lets see if MightyMartian is a SJW.
Windows 10 and global warming are definitely not LBGTQ issues. They have absolutely nothing to do with trans community please stop trying to drag the LBGTQ agenda into absolutely everything.

It's also an extremely stupid (thus unlikely) move for MS to make. Think about it, when your OS starts calling the cops on you, you move to another OS. Only a company hell-bent on putting themselves out of business would do that. Since the rest of your post is based on that premise, well, the rest of your post is going to be ignored.

If it never leads to an arrest or any other consequence, who gives a fuck? I should say the real strwaman is that it matters at all if nothing ever comes of it. If not that, then that law enforcement agencies, most of which operate on tight budgets, would take this data, which brings with it a very real cost for acquisition, storage, analysis, and verification, and do nothing with it. In short, if this was happening, we'd know by now.

Windows 7 Pro gave you a free licensed copy of XP, back when XP was still a supported OS. Apple let's you run as many instances of virtualized OS X as you like (so long as your host is Apple hardware, if you're reading the fine print). Linux, of course, is free. But having a virtualized M$ OS is just convenient to have, for testing, rolling back an undo drive, true virtual workspaces, all sorts of stuff. If M$ packaged a canned version of 10 with Hyper-V, that could get interesting.

If you have the licenses you can run Windows VMs (including virtualized copies of appropriately licensed physical machine), and you can run some Linux VM (Ubuntu, Red Hat, Cent, and SuSE).
