A latest internal build of Windows 10 is out in the wild. Build 10154 sees Microsoft focusing on bug fixes and performance improvements, not new features as it moves toward RTM and finalizing the launch version.
Among the fixes are improvements to the Edge browser, how upgrades from Windows 7 are handled, tidying up some bugs in Device Manager, and presumably many more under the hood.
As for performance improvements, those will be hard to judge, but Microsoft will be looking to minimize boot and app switching times for a smoother experience. It could also be tidying up effects to have most user impact, with minimal system impact.
Someone kindly leaked the update list on Twitter, so you can read for yourself what the details of the latest fixes are:

For example, Windows 8 went to RTM on 1 August 2012, but the code didn’t release until 26 October, giving vendors months to test it out.
This time, all the testing is being done of the go, with the public and hardware vendors more deeply involved in bug reporting. Hopefully that should mean a better, more stable product at launch, but there will still be many people unwilling to upgrade on day one.
