Welcome to a special episode of the Observed Tech PODCAST.

Episode 156 is a review and my commentary about all the news Microsoft shared during their Windows 10 event yesterday in Redmond.

It was great to see the progress they have made over the last several weeks with bringing the Windows 10 OS into a more cohesive look and feel and of course, they caught us off guard with the Surface Hub and HoloLens announcements. By the way, I mispronounce Hololens as HaloLens in the show – an easy mistake – right?

I was however, disappointed that we did not see a new build of the technical preview released to the Windows Insiders. Depending how you interpret the timing it is either due in the next week or next week.  As I mention in the PODCAST – I think it will be before the end of this week.

Looks like we will have to wait and see and maybe cross our fingers as well for a quick release of the next build.
