I am really pis*ed off with the current philosophy that some Insiders can see a development but not others. As I said earlier, Roman law of Murphus Maximus means I NEVER get to see them. It makes no sense whatsoever to restrict the Snip&Sketch updates.

The 1809 debacle has made be reappraise my enthusiasm and given me a reality check.

Hi there


agree - I don't have a problem with snip&sketch but I don't get the date format thing some people get in file explorer on this build.

Not sure what the logic is but it seems bonkers having the same build ostensibly out for testing but different users get different bits included in it.

Not sure how modern QA and testing is done these days but IMO it's a bonkers way of doing it -- people should be testing on the same software mix for a given build.

1) you won't get the music in either flac or SACD quality --really does make a huge difference when played on studio grade reference speakers. If you are used to those bud earphones where people around you usually hear more of the "music" than you do -- ever tried travelling on trains near London in and around the rush hour where you just hear the dit dit dit sounds coming out of those things - hideous. Thank good for Noise cancelling HQ phones !!!!
2) you have to pay a subscription for stuff you already have and at worse quality
3) what happens if you aren't on the Internet.
4) you can't guarantee how long music is available in their library for -- also the search algorithm is pretty ropey.

With my poor hearing, it probably doesn't make so much of a difference in my case.

Yeah - on one site a user even slagged off Insiders as lazy and not doing job properly!

The number of people who replied vitriolicly as well was sad to see.

We seem to have lost credibility with public at large, and now MS are jerking us around it seems by restricting users of developments, aside from not listening to us anymore it seems.

I have a feeling the guys who review the feedback only tell the development management what they want to hear (e.g. people love emojis, not negative stuff like it deletes user files).

I think it was a big mistake to open up hub to all users. Either Insiders should have a more focussed hub, or an Insider only section (like VIP section here).

While we do have some input either via the hub or on social media, at the end of the day MS are responsible for what they release.

Yeah, I can only hear in one ear in mono, wirh a restricted frequency range up to 5KHZ (speech is up to 8-10 KHZ). I found it difficult to listen to (particularly) women with high pitched voices no matter how loud they spoke.

I have amazing hearing aids called bicross aids. I cannot hear anything on my left due to a brain tumor that killed the hearing nerves). With normal aids, I could hear nothing on left, and so only had 180degree hearing in effect. The new aid on left is not actually sending sound to my left but beams the sound to my right hearing aid.

So now I get 360 degree hearing but all through my right ear. It was a little bizarre at first e.g. I can now hold a mobile to my left ear and hear it on the right!

The other amazing thing is it stretches high frequency sounds to a lower frequency. All women now have a deep husky (and sexy) voice - lol.

Music no longer sounds the same but hey I can hear things now.
