Microsoft releases mobile, desktop beta builds of Windows 10, but one's worth skipping

Microsoft released not one, but two Insider beta builds of Windows 10 on Wednesday, fixing bugs in both the desktop and mobile versions. Only one, however, looks like it’s worth the effort.

Microsoft Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14271 and Mobile Build 14267.1004 are both available to users in the Fast Ring on both platforms. It's the first time Microsoft has released two simultaneous beta builds on the same day. 

Both builds fix bugs introduced by earlier versions. Be wary, however: The desktop build fixes largely aesthetic issues, while introducing some fairly major new bugs. Microsoft’s new mobile build, however, is much more worthwhile: Microsoft fixed the visual voicemail issue from an earlier build, and has added back the useful “history” feature in the People contacts app.
