Microsoft releases build 10166, and adds Wi-Fi purchasing

Microsoft has released yet another Windows 10 preview edition for their Insider program.  This one is 10166, meant for the insiders in the fast ring, and is described as "all about bug fixing and fit-and-finish."  It is available from Windows Update, or you can get the build 10162 ISO from the Windows Insider program website.

One notable addition in this edition is the ability to purchase paid Wi-Fi through the Windows Store via the Microsoft Wi-Fi app.  According to Gabe Aul at the Windows Blog:

You will know when you can purchase Wi-Fi when you see “Buy Wi-Fi from Windows Store” in your list of networks when clicking on the network icon on the lower right in the Taskbar. The Microsoft Wi-Fi app provides the choice to pay with a Credit or Debit Card, a Microsoft Gift Card, PayPal, or Wireless Carrier Billing, and it helps keep your information secure since it uses the Windows Store payment system. 

The new Wi-Fi purchase system is being tested first in Seattle, Washington, but will be expanded throughout the U.S. soon.
