I just installed Build 9364 today, and here's what I noticed so far:
1. Installation is not much different from Windows 8 Setup earlier, but it didn't ask for a product key, and it seemed to go a bit faster than it did while I was installing Windows 8 Enterprise on my system back in mid-January after the Release Preview expired.
2. It has the Alarms, Calculate, Sound Recorder, and Movie Moments apps (obviously).
3. Internet Explorer 11 (I'm posting from it right now as I write this).
4. The Start button on the Charms bar is not only in a darker shade, but also has a brief shining effect.
5. The PC Settings page feels much more complete, and is more capable than the one in Windows 8.
Over time, as I install and test each build, I'll see about comparing it with Windows 8. But overall, it really seems to run quite well on my system, despite having a rather low-end PC to work with. And for each issue (including enabling the disabled features, as well as the Windows Store fix that was posted here earlier), I'll also post instructions on how to apply them.
From what I see, it's simply what Windows 8 would have been, had they decided to develop it further. All in all, it appears to run perfectly fine on my system, with no issues whatsoever.
NOTE: I also enabled one of the options during Setup to allow information to be sent to Microsoft to help improve Windows, since this is a pre-release version, and I figured that it would be a good idea to allow such information to be submitted in case they might have needed it to fix any problems during the development period.
