Leak of Windows 10 build 10108 shows a host of small visual tweaks

Windows 10 Build 10108 - Animation Improvements, PC Settings, Pill Switches + MORE
Windows 10 Build 10108
Microsoft has been showing off a number of unreleased builds for Windows 10 while exhibiting new products at Ignite 2015. Now, a new video from Winbeta.org has hit the Internet, highlighting some of the inner workings of build 10108.

The video shows that build 10108 works off of many of the features already seen in Build 10074. However, some notable changes include smoother 3D Live Tile animation and an alignment of the home options in the center of the screen.

Two previously unseen apps, AD Token Broker Plugin and Administrative Tools, also appear in the apps list. As seen in Windows 8, the 3D Builder app is also included in this most recent build. These tools are mostly meant for partners and developers, so they’ll probably be removed before this leaked build is released as a preview.

In the video, you can see small tweaks to the UI of build 10108. For instance, the Settings app’s background is now the same color as the title bar. The pill switches, which can be toggled to change various settings, are smaller in build 10108. They have also been filled in with the main color of the theme.

In terms of visuals, the “Getting Started” splash screens no longer change in color, but rather fade in and out of blue. It’s worth noting that overall, the build has a darker color theme than in previous editions, though that may simply be due to user preferences set during installation.

The right-click menu is now using the same context found in the task bar. This has been visible in past builds, but briefly disappeared. Now that it is back, there’s no telling if Microsoft intends to keep it. Similarly, experts are unsure of whether the 3D Builder app will remain in the final version of Windows 10.

Windows 10 is slated to debut in July 2015, and Microsoft has been continuously making announcements on updates to the operating system on its blog.

More details leak about a modernized, modular Windows 12
Windows 10X

Microsoft hasn't shared public details about the next major version of Windows, but more information is starting to leak out. This next version of Windows, which will presumably be called "Windows 12, is being developed as a more modular and modern operating system.

That report comes from Windows Central, which claims a source indicated that a new project is being worked on under the code name CorePC. This is intended to be the next generation of Windows Core OS, a long-developed concept that has never come to fruition as a finished product.

Did Microsoft accidentally leak the next version of Windows?
a view of the strange new windows from ignite 2022

A brief glimpse of a desktop. Just a moment to take in what you were looking at. But then it hits you. Did Microsoft accidentally leak its next version of Windows during the company's Ignite event? Many watching the event are asking the same question.
Zac Bowden at Windows Central has done a great job of breaking down what, exactly, you saw. For a moment, there was a Windows desktop with a floating taskbar along the bottom and a Mac-esque Dock along the top, and a floating search box in the center of the screen. 

This is not the first time we’ve seen this design. Microsoft is working on a three-year update cycle and the next version of Windows is known internally as "Next Valley." The user interface shown off briefly at Ignite matches up with what we know about Next Valley. Of course, the update is not due until 2024. 
For starters, the floating taskbar along the bottom of the screen takes direct inspiration from macOS, down to the rounded corners and the frosted glass background. The icons look bigger and brighter, a la macOS. 
Next, the toolbar along the top featured a battery icon, Wi-Fi icon, the date on the right, and weather on the left. All of this was on the same frosted glass background as the taskbar. If you didn’t know better, you might think this was actually a MacBook running Windows.
But the giant floating search bar in the upper-middle of the screen belies that notion. It was pure Microsoft from the icons to search and close to the font in the search box. What it was doing there on the screen is a big question.
Is Microsoft planning on adding a big floating search box to Windows? If so, it could work a lot like Apple’s new Dynamic Island on iPhone. In fact, we’ve seen a leak for Dynamic Island on Mac, and we were not fans. It would take up a lot of usable space, slow the system down with needless animations, and while not being terribly useful. It'll be interesting to see how Microsoft plans to handle it.
This brief glimpse of a strange Windows operating system may have been nothing more than a mock-up of somebody’s idea for Windows. It could have been an experimental concept that accidentally made it into the presentation. Or it could have been an intentional leak of what Microsoft has planned in Next Valley, giving us a glimpse of what's to come.
