Microsoft's Windows Insider Program is all about the company gaining feedback from users about upcoming Windows 10 features. With a new Windows Insider build feature, Microsoft is taking the feedback to the next level. For a new ALT+TAB tool, the company wants users to phone in to provide information. Users are now seeing a notification in the Windows 10 Action Center promoting them to have a phone call with Microsoft. The notification says: “Microsoft wants to hear your opinions! To set up a phone call with Windows engineers, go to: http://www.aka.ms/alttab”. The link redirects to a web page at https://ux.microsoft.com/?AltTab. Following the link leads to a Microsoft User Research page. He users are informed the Windows 10 team is wanting to “understand our customer needs” and need to do this via a 5-10 minutes anonymous phone call. Specifically, Microsoft wants to know how users use the ALT+TAB feature in Windows 10 to move between apps. This feature is in development and the company wants more detailed feedback. Why understanding user habits for ALT+TAB requires 5 to 10 minutes of conversation is unclear. “Your feedback is important to us.
