What should have been a new release ring above Fast or a reason to rebalance the current rings’ purposes, gets implemented as a tacked on extra dropdown that works only twice a year, has a limited number (not shown in UI) of people that can sign up for it and disables itself after it is no longer used.

At some point the pressure from Insiders got too high, claiming that they feel bored or left out of the development progress because Microsoft clearly is already working on the next version of Windows but they can’t test it yet. So, when Microsoft reaches the end of a development milestone for their bi-annual releases, there is a point where they switch branches and use Fast to stabilize the final version that is to go out to everyone in the world.

Fast + Skip Ahead aka “The worst idea ever that just feels like a bad hack and should be removed”.

Slow aka “let’s just get bit more telemetry to make sure all our fixes worked in Fast”.

Release Preview aka “dead weight that should be used to test Cumulative Updates every month instead”.

Is that fun? Does that give you some sort of accomplishment? Do you think you are helping? The Xbox and Windows Insider ring systems Xbox You just happen to be useful while you suffer through broken shit.

You don’t have to be a technical person to generate telemetry though.

The Insider program is largely a huuuge generator of telemetry for Microsoft.

So, what happens when non-technical people are on fast and get more and more buggier builds? Are they happy about that? Do they know how to file proper feedback? Will they stay on that build for longer? I think the answer to all of that is “no”.

I know like 2(?) people that are on slow, the rest is all not on the program at all or on fast. But what this does is diluting the focus a release branch of the Insider program has. I did the same when I was 15/16 and got into the first private beta programs and I was hella proud of it. Many people just signed up to have the latest and greatest, get updates faster or just prance around saying how they are part of a team of special people that gets to test software, sometimes even writing “QA Tester for Microsoft Corporation” in their CVs. It does not sound nice but my ball park number is probably super off but you get what I am trying to say. The problem comes from the point that ~80% of the Windows Insider system members is made up of non-technical people. The main complaint with the Windows Insider system is always that there are too few, too many, too buggy, too not-buggy releases and everyone wants to get pleased but the crowd can’t agree on what they really want. But when you really think about it, the Windows system is just better for them, not for users though. Disclaimer: Every single number I state in this post is pure guesswork.Įvery time I have to read a “the insiders want more builds” thread on Twitter I just have to shake my head and wonder why Microsoft keeps doing the Windows Insider program the way they are doing it now, instead of the far better version they have on the Xbox.
