Ah, the joys of deliberately choosing to be an unpaid volunteered beta
tester. That's what you are when you choose to register to enlist into
the Insider community. The popup, according to the article, is
something Microsoft is testing in their fast ring release schedule.

If you want to be on the bleeding edge, well, then don't complain when
you get cut. If you don't want to test their product with changes that
may not get into the official release, don't be an Insider and instead
stand outside waiting for what comes out the door. Not only do I not
want the flaky and variable builds but I don't want them pushed to me
until I'm ready (and why I disable the WU and BITS services until *I*
decide to save an image backup and then do the updates).

But if it weren't for the bleeding edge testers, then it would not have
been seen early and the yelling and complaining would not have hit
Microsoft. And without the yelling it might have hit production.

It *is* hitting production. Read the article.

I'm not exactly sure it was a test. I have the strong feeling that was
just a way to save face, "it was only a test and insider is our way to
testing". Bull s**t.


ordinary users still the "are you sure prompt" and have to go to setting
just make a non-edge browser the default. I thought windows had to enable
users to get other browsers in an EU court order. When did that change?
