Involving Users in the work is very productive especially, when both Consumers & Enterprise are represented. Now, that such approaches are in place, they can invaluably keep working 'behind-the-scenes' to have ever improving & (theoretically) problem-free highly appealing products. Point is, we did not have Insiders working on products before the last few years. There is obvious logic, besides the meaningful Open Source part, that Edge Insiders & the work, can continue, the same as the other Insider Programs.

Starting w/ Vista one has to apply & be accepted as a registered MS Beta Tester, then 7 & 8 by invitation. If we go back a few years beta testing did not involve the 'public' not, Consumers or Enterprise. But, do I think it is likely EIP (Edge Insider Program) after that?, yes I do. I do not know what the 'long-term' plan is for Edge Insiders once Edge C moves to non-beta, to a non-Insider. ![]()
