it does seem to stick @ 6 and again aroundabout 77, watching via task manager mine shows very high levels of CPU & harddrive usage. (have they just moved the getting things ready to here?)

I expect so Roy although some people are still seeing Getting things Ready I think.

Yo,
What experience does it require to get involved in Insider ?

Updated no problems at all... really wish they enabled the search bar on the lock screen, been gone since the last build for me.

None as such, you just have to be aware that something bad might happen at some point and worst case you might need to do a reinstall. Go into it with your eyes open (so have backup plan and your data safe) and you should enjoy the ride. That said, my experiences have been very positive and little quirks and issues that have arisen I've found interesting.

It's not a good idea to use a Fast Ring build as your daily driver because it can and will fail at some stage. If you have an old machine that is the best thing to use. Alternatives are dual booting or running in a VM.

Hi All,
I used to be on the slow release ring, but then I decided ( because I like to give my mind challenges ) to go ahead and switch to the fast branch. So far...so good !
