If Windows 10 (http://www.engadget.com/2014/09/30/microsoft-windows-10/) is going to unify your experiences on devices ranging from smartphones to PCs, it only makes sense that key mobile features would reach the desktop, right? Microsoft certainly thinks so. The team in Redmond has released an updated version (http://blogs.windows.com/bloggingwindows/2014/10/21/were-rolling-out-our-first-new-build-to-the-windows-insider-program/?OCID=ANNOUNCEMENTS_SOC_TW_ORGANIC_WINDOWS10FIRSTB UILD&linkId=10134870) of the Windows 10 Technical Preview (http://www.engadget.com/2014/10/01/windows-10-technical-preview/) that brings Windows Phone's (http://www.engadget.com/2014/04/14/windows-phone-8-1/) Action Center (that is, a notification area) to PCs. Whether there's an app update or an important meeting coming up, you can now find about it all in a single place; you won't have to check Live Tiles or jump into the apps themselves. No, it's probably not worth installing Microsoft's pre-pre-pre-release operating system just to try this out, but it's definitely worth an update if you're already living on the bleeding edge.
