    Changes and Improvements

    [General]

    • We are continuing the exploration of badging on the Start menu with several new treatments for users logging in with local user accounts to highlight the benefits of signing in with a Microsoft account (MSA). If you see one of these treatments, give us feedback on what you think. As a reminder, it is normal for us to try out different concepts in the Dev Channel to get feedback.

    So being that this is nearly the end of the unofficial tax season for me … long story short those of us in California really get until October 16 due to our flooding earlier this year, but we’re still doing tax extensions to be proactive and ensure the IRS handles these right… but I digress, and this is patching week, and well… I’m tired!  My patience is at absolute ZERO.  So needless to say this is not going over well with me tonight.

    Here’s what I tweeted to @brandonLeBlanc on twitter tonight

    I guess I should look at the bright side, there are enough folks using the workaround that they are taking the time (and developer effort) to code this up.

    More about this as we know more about this. As always we’ll keep you up to date in the newsletter.
