Unsurprisingly it looks and feels very similar to Google Chrome (with Bing Search Results) which is also built on Chromium.

Tyranny of the EU: Article 13
Article 13 is an act by the Federalist European Superstate to censor the internet. It allows legislation to deliberately give a monopoly to pro-EU companies and pro-EU media and allows political persecution against any dissidents. Jan Krohn author of Heidoc.net writes an article in more detail here:
EU Copyright Reform, Upload Filters, Article 13, and the Death of the User-Generated Internet
We the 17.4 million in the UK have already tried to leave the dreadful EU by voting for Brexit, a decision that looks increasingly likely to be ignored by our political class.
Windows Insider Build 18362.1
This is likely the build which will be released to mainstream Windows 10 users. Windows 10 Version 1903, not watermarked and with no expiry date. This means it will likely be tested for 1-2 weeks before a new Media Creation Tool is created, likely sometime in the first 10 days of April.

Creating a Windows 7 or Windows 10 Bootable USB with Dell System Drivers
I have put together some new installation guides which instruct in the slipstreaming of Dell System Drivers and in the case of Windows 7 Updates into Windows 10 and Windows 7 Installation Media Respectively:
- Dell Business Systems: Slipstreaming Windows 10 Drivers to Windows 10 Installation Media
- Dell Business Systems: Slipstreaming Windows 7 Drivers to Windows 7 Installation Media
This can be both be used to leave the system in a state which is very similar to a Factory Image.
These guides are only applicable to Dell Business Models such as the Dell OptiPlex, Latitude, Precision and XPS ranges. Dell Driver Packs are not available for the Home Models such as the Inspiron or Vostro Ranges. The Windows 10 guide can possibly be modified for other OEMs such as Lenovo using the Lenovo SCCM Driver Packs.
Some New Guides…

Microsoft Update Touchscreen Keyboard for Scientists and Engineers
This is not available for mainstream Windows 10 users yet.
In the Latest Windows 10 Insider Preview of Windows 10 build 18267, Microsoft have updated the Touchscreen keyboard in Windows 10 to make it easy to access, commonly used symbols such as currency symbols, mathematical symbols, arrow like symbols and Greek letters.
I left Windows feedback for Microsoft to make a modern character map last week based on their emoji panel. It may be coincidence but it seems like they took this feedback and instead applied it to the touchscreen keyboard:
The touchscreen keyboard can still be accessed on non-touch systems by right clicking an empty area on the taskbar and selecting show touch keyboard:
Once this is done you will see the touchscreen keyboard icon beside the system clock. You can open it by left clicking with the mouse:
In the Windows 10 Insider Preview build, press &123 to access the numbers and symbols:
Press the Ω key to access the new symbols:
Some screenshots of the new layout (the video above shows more details):
New Keyboard Input Methods for Windows 10
Microsoft are improving the keyboard and input methods with Windows 10. Let's hope they release a modern updated character map with keyboard shortcut [Windows] and [ c ] in the next build of Windows 10.
Clipboard – Windows 10 Version 1809
Microsoft have created a Windows 10 Clipboard which allows you to Copy and Paste multiple items.
Press [Windows] and [ v ] to open the Windows Clipboard. This will allow you to paste not only the last text you have copied but all text before hand.
If it doesn't work for you. First check you have Windows 10 Version 1809. To do this right click the start button and select System:
Under Windows Specification, check Windows Specification to see you have Windows 10 Version 1809. If you have Windows 10 Version 1803, then note Windows 10 Version 1809 has been released and revoked because a minority of users lost files during an upgrade install. It will likely be updated to fix to this bug and re-released soon. See Windows OEM FAQs and Downloads for more information.
If you have Windows 10 Version 1809, then to the bottom left select Clipboard:
Ensure Clipboard History is Enabled:
Emoji Panel – Windows 10 Version 1803
Press [Windows] and [ . ]
Feedback – Implement a New Character Map with Shortcut Symbol Windows and [ c ]
Please up vote my Windows Feedback for this so it is brought to Microsoft's attention. To do this press [Windows] and [ f ] to open the Windows Feedback App and sign into the feedback app, if you aren't already signed into a Microsoft Account. Then select the Feedback Hub:
Search for character map and upvote please. Leave an optional comment if you've got additional ideas:
Windows 10 Version 1809 Released to Windows Insiders
New Keyboard Input Methods
Emoji Panel – Windows 10 Version 1803
Press [Windows] and [ . ]
Clipboard – Windows Insider Build ≥17682
Press [Windows] and [ v ] to open the Windows Clipboard. This will allow you to paste not only the last text you have copied but all text before hand.
Currently it works only with text, hopefully it will work with images.
Suggestion: Updated Character Map
Lets Hope [Windows] and [ c ] for a modern character map which looks more like the Equation Editor in Microsoft Word and lays out items in a sensible manner such as Basic Math, Greek Letters, Letter-Like Symbols, Operators and Arrows…
