This Build is so messed up I'm about to file for a divorce!!!

Shouldn't that be the other way round "divorce for a file?"

Anyone have any idea how quickly the Skip Ahead will fill up, when it becomes available?

Only probable answer is "at least one minute before you decide to do it".

I am sure nobody knows - MS will set a limit (which we do not know) and we have no idea if larger, same as, or smaller than previously.

More importantly, will our skippy registry hacks work?

In actual fact, both rounds of skippy so far have been extremely UNDERwhelming, and nothing of significance was released early anyway, as most resources went into finishing the release versions.

As I have said before, I call skippy "limpy'. I really am not sure the effort of skippy is worth it.

Okay @cereberus, many thanks for your thoughts. I thought my post got lost!

What does confuse me though is that if you download a Skippy version of Windows via the mini-server and install that but you are not on Skippy builds (for WU) do all the features work correctly? (in my case I think that's why Sets kept disappearing)

Yeah - this is best way to get skippy. I do not think the SETS fiasco had anything to do with this. We do not even know when SETS will be resurrected. Until, SETS is back in the game, I do not think I will even bother with skippy.

Sad to say I agree completely with @cereberus. Not only did I not bother with Skippy for a few months I often get reset to the Slow ring (which is also fairly useless). And now we enter the time period where even the Fast ring won't bring much new. I

Well you never know...maybe the wait for the next Skippy version will produce some new amazing features, (hopefully not just Edge enhancements)

Well yeah, Skippy has been underwhelming at least, I had higher hopes for it. At times regular fast Insider builds got more.

You are obviously a glass half full person :-D.

Waiting for a new build, it's time to check Windows Admin Center!

On my Insider builds I use Windows Defender. On my other computers I use Eset Smart Security.

Yeah, same here, Winuser. So far, it's working just fine.
