The anniversary update brings support for file paths longer than 255 characters.
However I must say this news post is baffling. The author gives the impression that the insider builds exist in a vacuum with no purpose. What does he think the point of them are? What does he think they're testing if not the actual big update?
Because the 14390 build is the anniversary update and since we're near release, the changes are smaller and only bug fixes.
I have to wonder what he thought of the pre-release Insider Windows 10 builds. Did he think that we were getting something wildly different at launch because the public beta testing was just to keep people occupied?
I agree completely.
"Although this build may not have much to offer, its lack of improvements likely stems from Microsoft’s work on the one-year anniversary update that is coming later this month."
This build is the culmination of the work on the one-year anniversary update that is coming later this month.
"Users interested in testing out new Windows 10 improvements should probably hold off until Microsoft makes the anniversary update available."
This shows a clear lack of understanding in how the insider builds work and if he knew what he was writing about he's essentially saying, "Users interested in testing out the new anniversary update should probably hold off until Microsoft makes the anniversary update available."
How did this make its way onto toms hardware as an actual story?
