Windows Share improvements. The Share pane will support sharing using WhatsApp, and if you don’t have the app installed already, it will have a shortcut so you can get it from the Store. This one is “gradually” rolling out, and Microsoft says it will “try this experience out with other apps as well.”

Microsoft Store improvements. The Store app is gaining a few new features, including Install as you browse (which lets you mouse-over an item and buy or install it without navigating to its landing page), improved instant game discoverability, and some performance improvements. These improvements are heading out to those on Canary and Dev too.

And that’s all folks.
