Geesh! This Skippy thing has not been a very productive ring. May never make this lousy choice again.

Skippy definitely isn't what I expected when I chose it. It has been so Limpy I'll be surprised if MS tries it again.

With all the dire warnings when Skippy was starting, I was expecting bleeding edge builds. But it hasn't been that at all. If anything, Skippy builds have been more stable for me than regular Insider builds.

When I joined the Skippy ring I was expecting the best of both worlds.

Surprised so many took the bait....it was inevitable all available M$ resources would be concentrated on the successful release of RS3.
Skippy was just a gimmick....soon all insiders will be testing RS4.

It is/was Release Preview on the other side of the rabbit hole. Mad Hatters and all.......

Can they at least tell us whether or not we will be continuing with the 17k builds? What do people think?

I had an extra PC in the closet doing nothing, so figured I didn't have much to lose by trying Skippy. That PC will probably go back in the closet now. No need for running 2 Insider machines.
