Its new feature Windows Update is already available in the leaked build 10036 and comes with an option that states "get updates from more than one place." The company says in the description of the new tool "to receive your updates faster."

Basically, with Windows 10, Microsoft implements a technology that works a bit like BitTorrent, and will allow its customers to download updates from other computers that have already taken them either from Microsoft or from other computers.

Of course, users won't be able to choose the computers they want to download the updates to, because the πιθανότατα θα δημιουργούνται αυτόματα με the transfer speed.

While the new tool could be revolutionary as it speeds up the whole process of getting updates, it raises some other security-related questions.
