Microsoft has released Insider Preview Build 14361 for Windows 10 on PC and Mobile with a huge boost for building microservices and cloud.
You can now run Docker natively on Windows 10 with Hyper-V containers, to build, ship and run containers using nano server in technical preview five of Windows Sever 2016, that’s due in the third quarter.
Nano Server is a remotely administered server operating system for cloud and data centre lacking local log-on and that only works for 64-bit.
A new version of the Docker engine for Windows has been built, too, which improves DockerFile syntax.
Elsewhere, the Windows 10 build features a plethora of fixes and updates, including a fix for both PC and Mobile addressing the issue of the "strange grey bar" spotted in the Microsoft Edge browser window (third bullet under "Other Improvements and Fixes for PC").
An extension of LastPass has been added for the Edge browser while the inability for YouTube to render properly in Edge and IE because of TCP Fast Open has been fixed.
Windows 10 Update Edition is due next month.

What do you say, folks? Let’s keep the Win10 bashing to a minimum on this thread, so the pro-Win10 folks can have a pleasant chat. The product is getting better with each build...
If the Windows Update process is faster with W10, that by itself would be a huge improvement (for me at least). On my W7 computer, I am currently at 13 hours and counting, trying to get 14 updates to download. The current progress is... 0 KB total, 0% complete. Yikes!
Anyone who trusts their life totally “in the cloud” deserves what happens to them when it all goes to crap
Remember- Obama has his finger on the internet kill switch. And even after him, The Government has its finger on the internet kill switch.
My Win7 updates are similarly slow. It has to do with the fact that Win7 now has hundreds of necessary updates, and Microsoft refuses to roll them up as a Service Pack (it would have been SP2). So the update process has to do bazillions of cross-checks between all these individual updates including those you've already installed, for compatibility. Mine often take over a full day, sitting at 0%, and then finally it goes pretty quick once it gets sorted out.
Win 10 updates are faster, if for no other reason than there aren't as many Win10 patches YET. And they may have improved the compatibility check algorithms.
But IMO, the main reason for Win7 updates being so painful is that Microsoft wants those of us who want to keep our Win7 to suffer as much as possible, in an effort to force us into Win10. Color me annoyed about that.
BTW, that's not bashing Win10. It's just frustration at Microsoft's poor attitude toward those of us who still prefer Win7.
That's good to know. I'll just leave the computer on and let the update process run til it's done.
It had been a long time since I checked the W8.1 laptop that my wife uses, and when I looked at it earlier, it says there are 82 updates to do. That may take into July, lol.
Windows 10 - it sucks less than 8.1
It shouldn’t take so long for updates to install.
Try running the fix-it tool.

“Let’s keep the Win10 bashing to a minimum on this thread,”
I’ll give it about four replies.
LOL, that's certainly true, bless its little heart. :-)
I consider myself fortunate to have never had 8.x on any of my personal systems. However, at work I have a number of recent Windows Server machines which are basically Windows 8 for servers. I installed Classic Shell on them so I could manage them without spitting every 2 minutes.
I found that Classic Shell is also a help on Win10, although I'm learning to manage stock Win10 on my users' desktops without (much) trouble.
I've used the fixit tools on occasion to work out install failures, and they're good tools, but they haven't noticeably reduced the time it takes each month. It's not that the installation fails. It just takes forever to figure out what it needs to download. Then the download/install time is normal.
Over a dozen and no significant bashing.
Are you on the Insider Program? I recommend it strongly especially if you're a Win10 fan. I've had a good time receiving their bulletins and updates.
So, what do you use your computer for that is not connected in anyway to the Internet?
Free Republic? No, Internet?
Email? No, Internet.
Online shopping? No, Internet.
Facebook (I do NOT use, but billions do)? No, Internet.
I work from home. My entire livelihood is tied up in having access to remote systems, cloud services & storage, and communications with my coworkers, either through online video/audio, chat, email and texting.
There is so much about computing that requires the Internet that a computer that’s never online is hardly useful.
Sure, some may have this or that program they use that runs entirely on the PC—data and code—but for the vast majority of users out there, whether using a smart phone, a tablet a laptop or a personal computer, not having Internet would really be a show stopper.
So, no Internet, no computing. Nothing wrong with that, but the two are tied at the hip.
God bless the EFF for their many good efforts, but I don't think one is going to get traction in the courts even if 10,000,000 people sign it. There's no legal obligation for anyone to use Windows, and in cases where it's the only compatible option (like a Win-only mission-critical business application), there are ways to avoid getting upgraded to Win10.
I feel their pain, I really do. But there are ways to deal with it. Microsoft is not going to bend on this one, I'm quite sure.
Windows 10 loaded on my computer without my approval and I despise it.
You can go to Microsoft Update Catalog and download what you want DIRECTLY and install. This is an alternative to the backed up update servers you encountered
