Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Slow Build 16299 for PC Insider

My Insider policy: the latest or nothing :)

Using Skippy builds as main OS for everything. Have been using latest Fast Ring builds as main OS since October 2014, switched to Skippy first day it became available. Never (read: not a single time!) had an official version 1507, 1607 or 1703 or a Slow Ring installed (exception: test virtual machines to get screenshots for posts and tutorials).

No regrets.

Same here, I have regular fast on second computer only for the purpose of making ISO of it's builds. It's just that I was hoping for more from Skippy. Otherwise both are running just fine so that there's no reason not to push it.

Well, I'm sticking with Skippy also but I just booted into it after excursions to Windows Server 2016 and Debian Sid and it was completely wack. No network, most programs didn't work right etc. A real mess. Restored to a day old backup and everything is back to normal.
Guess we will see what they meant by "Skippy goes away" on the 17th. It would seem unlikely that there would be an "upgrade" to a 16xxx version from 17xxx. Most likely people now on the Fast/Active track will get the current 17xxx build. But if Shawn knows will he tell us??
