“Many of you want to feel closer to the engineering team and want more transparency into how we work. We love that and want to work even closer with you this year. We'll work to give you more insight into what the team is doing, how engineering decisions are made, what issues we're prioritizing each week, how we can improve our processes/tools and much more “behind the scenes” things. This will all start next week when everyone is back in the office on the standard Windows channels you know and love.”

Windows Insider Program Success

The Windows Insider Program has been a popular creation. Millions of users around the world are members of the program. It allows users to see and use Windows 10 builds and features in relative infancy. It is Microsoft's proving ground for the platform, giving Insiders the opportunity to give feedback.

Microsoft uses that feedback and sometimes tweaks existing features or add new ones based on it. Over the first year of its existence (July 2015  – July 2016) Microsoft sent out 28 PC Builds and 20 Mobile builds for Windows 10.
