Introducing Windows Insider Channels for Windows 10 Insider

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose

I'll take the lazy route and do nothing and be on the Dev channel

Been there since Oct 2014 with no tragedies so what can possibly go wrong?

Can only recall having to wind back once so that isn't bad.

But, everyone to their own.

With full backup and Insider builds in dual and secondary boot, I have no problem with Fast/Skippy builds, my curiosity is getting better of me. Slow/beta and release rings are just to conservative for me. If someone asked me to drive a prototype of a car I would jump right in.

Lol, insider builds are not only reason for MR, I can screw up windows just as good as MS can.

They probably should have been called Dev and Beta in the first place. People understand what they mean better than Fast and Slow especially with the new purposes they gave them last year.

I think this is a good move so the noobies can understand, but then should a nooby be on Insider.

Why not ? If they can get by in insider versions, normal builds would be piece of cake.

Exactly!. Good point, but then again why not taking care of more pressing issues like the "Known and unresolved issues" with the Windows 10 May 2004 Upgrade or why some users are having their PCs upgraded despite not having clicked on "Download & Install"

I am not a NOOB, I have been in and out of the IP since build 9926. I just want to be able to get a build that will be released one day. This way I feel a sense of accomplishment. What ever build they put in the slow ring or Beta channel will be better than what I am now using ~19041.329.
