they aren't going to let go of tiles just yet are they.

Tiles are the way of the future. If you don't believe me, just ask Microsoft!
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

“The home of the future is not about the technology and not about being smart and connected,” he said. “It’s about it working in a way that you don’t notice the technology and giving you the right options at the right time. It’s about adapting to you.” It's because it's really cosy. I like what you've done with it.

There isn’t a single overarching theme (like Generics, LINQ, async/await), but there are a lot of features that enhance your productivity both writing and reading C# code. "I program my home computer. Beam myself into the future"

I see a lot fancy new crap that brownfielders can get used to in this preview.

Await in catch / finally blocks and the null-propagation operator look quite handy.
Exception filters? I can see the argument that VB has them, so C# should have them too. But I don't think I've ever encountered a situation where I've thought, this would be much easier / cleaner with exception filters.
Everything else just looks horrible. But I guess that's just another sign I'm getting old.

Well I think most of the enhancements looks promising - especialy null propagation and primary constructors. Both makes code shorter and more clear. Exception filtering looks kind of short-hand of "if (e is MyException) {...}.
Why not remove the break-need in the end of switch-case's. I don't see why break is needed - should break out when the next case begins - or?
That is what I can think of.

If you saw Kate Upton or Jennifer Lawrence naked last week, there’s a good chance you saw them on the social news site Reddit. The self-proclaimed “front page of the Internet” was one of the main outlets linking to the celebrity nude photographs hacked from Apple’s iCloud accounts and leaked across the web. Honesty may be the best policy, but it doesn't seem to pay as well as the alternative

We are excited to announce that the new SQL Database service tiers, Basic, Standard, and Premium are now generally available. These service tiers raise the bar for what you can expect from a database-as-a-service with business-class functionality that is both built-in and seamless to use—allowing you to dramatically increase the number of databases managed under a single database administrator. I'd try to type something amusing here, but the combination of SQL, "cloud", and pricing has broken my Amuse-o-matic 9000.

If you've heard that Sitting is Killing You, you probably have some low-grade continuous anxiety about the fact that you still end up sitting at a computer for most of the day, most days. But a five minute/hour slow walking break was shown to guard against the worst circulatory effects of sitting. There you go: doctor mandated break time

Well, that should be easily achieved for the average employee, as they shuffle between the conference room and their desk every hour or so for useless meetings.

The outcry over celebrity nudes blames a new scapegoat -- the cloud -- for our security woes, but underlying causes run deeper. So... the question isn't, "Why bother?"

Microsoft is testing out playing games in your browser and not just any games. We're talking Xbox games - and not just last-generation titles either. In fact, even Xbox One titles are currently said to be in the works too. ↑↑↓↓←→←→BA to open a new tab

what farkarkles me off no end is that i have an XBox 360 (a bloody PC) and the buggers (M$) wont even let me have an internet browser on it unless I pay for it.
Furthermore I walk to my desktop PC and there are more "free" online games than i can point a Balmer stick at. Not a lot of "free" stuff on the XBox.
So it sits there and doesnt get used. I'm sure M$ had exactly that in mind.
What did my XBOX last get used for? Playing dvd's (breaking Bad as it happens)
