This is from The Verge. and published today.
Microsoft starts testing Windows 10's next major update
Quote
The first few builds available for testing "may include more bugs and other issues that could be slightly more painful for some people to live" according to Windows software engineer Dona Sarkar. Microsoft has released Windows 10 build 14901, and the company is testing out new notifications within File Explorer to provide tips on what's new in Windows 10. You can opt out of the notifications, and they're just a test for now.

Bugs and issues so bad that people refuse to continue to live? That's impressive.

Insider Build 14901. As always these builds are for testing and may have some rough edges. Nothing to see here. Move along. Movie at 11.  The sentence quoted from Sarkar's blog on blogs.windows.com has the word 'with' at the end in the original.

    I’m loving this fairly aggressive update strategy – looking forward to seeing them start address the much needed UI and icon updates.
