Windows 10 build 10586 has been released to Fast ring users of the Insider Preview program today. There's not a lot new in this build, just bug fixes, but it's important nonetheless: this build is believed to have been signed off as good enough for widespread use. As such, unless some critical last-minute bug is discovered, it should roll out to all Windows 10 users on Patch Tuesday next week, as the Windows 10 Fall Update.

For people still using the RTM build 10240, the update will bring a handful of visible changes: tab previews (but no extensions) in the Edge browser, colored title bars, greater consistency to the appearance of icons and menus, and additional live tile layout options in the Start menu.

The update also includes a set of new apps that tie into Skype: a Messaging app for instant messaging and a Skype Video app for video calls. These apps have a particular significance, because they're also present in Windows 10 Mobile, where they provide core telephony and SMS/MMS features, in addition to Skype connectivity.
