Windows 10 build number 10036 displays a dialog box with the title "Choose how you download updates."  An option offers to "Download apps and OS updates from multiple sources to get them more quickly."

Once that option is turned On, another option, "Download apps and OS updates from Microsoft and:" will make user choose between "PCS on my local network" or PCS on my local network, and PCS on the internet."

Unfortunately, there's no way to confirm the authenticity of this information. The peer-to-peer sharing method of downloading has its benefits as well as dangers.

Peer-to-peer downloading is faster but hackers will more likely try to use this feature to gain access to your computer.

Various features of the new Windows 10 are currently being spread around the net. WinBeta has released a YouTube video detailing some of the alleged features Windows 10 has to offer.   

The video reported a feature that enables a user to expand the Start menu and virtually occupy the whole screen, which seems to remind users of the Windows 8 TIFKAM.  The user interface seems reliable enough though. Meanwhile, Windows Defender has been strengthened with the addition of a few more options.

The Windows 10 development team has been asking and is receiving feedback with regards to the features they've been adding to the upcoming windows OS.

Gabriel Aul, who is connected with public testing of Windows 10, posted on Twitter they've just received their one millionth feedback. Some have doubts on whether the people developing Windows 10 are getting the right feedback or if they are even listening to it.
