[DISCUSSION] Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9926

The thing that I don't understand is why not Monday? Monday is not that much different from Tuesday, just a day earlier and even farther away from the upcoming weekend.

 

Just looked thru 10 pages of Google search - saw no "official" word" from MS - just a bunch guesses and rumors.
