windows 10 gets second update

Microsoft is keeping to its word and is continuing to deliver regular updates to the Windows 10 tech preview it launched on October 1.

On Wednesday, the company made available to those who've downloaded the preview Build 9879. This is the second update Microsoft has pushed to Technical Preview testers. The first was about three weeks ago, and wasBuild 9860.

With today's new update, Microsoft is tweaking the user interface a bit, allowing Windows 10 users to hide the Search and Task View buttons on the taskbar by right clicking on bar. Users also can pin items to the Home area of the File Explorer. The app settings menu on the top left has changed from three dots to the so-called "hamburger-style" button (as it looks something like a hamburger).
