3D Paint - Great - Only with newer Intel HD video chip sets I would imagine

Edge Updates - N/A - Cant use Edge as can't be controlled as well as IE or Chrome and a lot of school resource websites don't fully support it nor does it support Flash

BYOD Management - Meh - Only in a well behaved/priv secondary school/college/uni

We watched that live last year and it looks great and I cant wait to see what it's like!

 

Is there an actual release date yet other than 'some time during Spring'?

Microsoft tell me that if your computer can run Windows 10, it can run Paint 3D.

I have to admit, I wasn't exaggerating, it is silly easy to use and the kids will love it. Literally within 2 mins (once you have twiddled with the controls) you are away, it just flows very easily

What will be interesting will be to see if it ties in easily with 3D printers.

Edge does support Flash. :confused:

@Dos_Box. The following link might be of interest... :)

This changelog is cumulative of every build released after 14393 and will form the changelog for the Windows 10 Creators Update.

Edge + Flash.

Blocking Flash by default is different from not supporting it at all.

 

From the link I posted above...

 

Sites that support HTML5 will default to a clean HTML5 experience. In these cases, Flash will not even be loaded, improving performance, battery life, and security. For sites that still depend on Flash, users will have the opportunity to decide whether they want Flash to load and run, and this preference can be remembered for subsequent visits.

 

We are deeply aware that Flash is an integral part of many web experiences today. To ease the transition to HTML5, these changes initially will not affect the most popular sites which rely on Flash today. In the coming months, we will actively monitor Flash consumption in Microsoft Edge and will gradually shorten the list of automatic exceptions. At the end of this process, users will remain in control, and will be able to choose Flash for any site they visit.

Windows 10 Creators Update is Feature Complete According to Microsoft

 

Today, during the kick off of Microsoft's Windows Developer Day event, Kevin Gallo the company's Corporate Vice President for Windows Developer Platform, announced that the Windows 10 Creators Update Software Development Kit (SDK) is feature complete.

 

Since the current build of the SDK is 15021, released back on 03 February, that means the latest Fast Ring build being tested by Insiders, 15025 on both PC and Mobile, is also feature complete.

 

This is a significant milestone in the Redstone 2, aka the Creators Update, development process because it now means the Windows team focus shifts to fixing bugs and improving system performance as we approach general availability. That release is expected in April 2017 and the timing is right for this feature lock down to happen now as it gives about 4 to 6 weeks for dealing with bugs/performance issues. That of course means we are not done seeing builds for Windows Insiders for testing purposes either.

 

So far we have seen a total of 32 builds for PC (19) and Mobile (13) since August of last year when we started receiving Redstone 2 builds and if we see one build per week for the next 4-6 weeks then the number of PC testing builds will be comparable to the Anniversary Update numbers (26) while Mobile will be lagging behind (23) for the same cycle. Of course, that will all change if the Creators Update is pushed out in late April versus the beginning of the month.

 

If history is a good indicator, and depending on the official release date for the Creators Update to all Windows 10 users as I mentioned above, we should see a build in mid to late March that will be very close to what we used to refer to as RTM or Release To Manufacturing. For both the November and Anniversary Update releases, Windows Insiders received what was ultimately the release build of those updates in a similar time frame - 2 to 4 weeks prior to release of the update.

 

With Creators Update reaching feature complete status the final stage is being set for the release of the third major update for Windows 10 in April.
