"Tom's Guide: So will anything else change for the final version?
Mike Ybarra:What you see is feature complete. There are a couple of things we have that we are holding back: the gem under the rock, as it were. They will be in the final release. In fact, all of the code is in the build, just the discoverability is not – because that worked so well for the M3 release!"
Hmm... that last anecdote is interesting...
