Windows 10 preview build 9879 is coming next week for Slow ring users
Microsoft will roll out the latest public build, 9879, for the Windows 10 Technical Preview, sometime next week for Windows Insider Program members who have elected to get their updates in the Slow ring tier.
Microsoft has already released build 9879 of the Windows 10 preview for people who have their PCs setup to receive immediate updates in the Fast ring level. While there were some hints the Slow ring participates might get the update this week, Microsoft's Gabriel Aul posted on Twitter today, "We decided to make a couple of additional fixes so are holding Slow ring progression until early next week. Thanks all!."
People in the Fast ring will also get updates next week, but they will be much smaller. The download will be for hotfixes that will deal with some issues that have been found in the Windows 10 9879 preview build. Aul confirmed, again on Twitter, "The WU hotfixes will apply to all 9879 systems."
Are any of you using the slow ring tier instead of fast for the Windows 10 Preview?
