Microsoft has released Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 21286 to insiders in the Dev Channel. The new release comes with quite a number of new features but the most eye catching introduction is the additional of News and Interests to the taskbar. At this time only users in United States, Canada, Great Britain, Australia, and India will be able to access this task bar pop-up content. Microsoft s Chief Product Officer, Panos Panay, is very much in love with the cool new feature .

Microsoft s dynamic content area allows you to quickly check for the latest updates in news, weather and so on, throughout your day while using your PC. Microsoft suggests this feature will save you time switching between PC and phone news feeds and apps – while keeping you up to date on the things you care about.
Microsoft is about to make the Windows 10 taskbar a lot more useful and in a neat, non-distracting way. Ever found yourself opening a new browser tab to check the latest news or match score, or launching an app to see the weather info while working? I do it, a lot. Thankfully, Microsoft is adding a collapsible news and interests feed to the Windows 10 taskbar that is
just a click away and won’t push your ongoing workflow to the background.
Currently available for Windows Insiders only
“With news and interests on the Windows taskbar, you get quick access to an integrated feed of dynamic content such as news and weather that updates throughout the day,” explains Microsoft.
