@thebookisclosed @WithinRafael Good feedback, thank you!

@WithinRafael @alecoot I think this ultimately calls for another post explaining why you can even pick a different base w/ good insight on the Continuous Delivery approach. To get as many new features as you can & as quickly as possible you should pick 25H2 - shared base with Prod speeds up shipping.

@alecoot Confusing new UI/UX. E.g., beta "previews what we plan to ship". OK. Experimental is supposed to be non-committal but has Advanced Options of "25H2/26H1" for selecting features that are targeting those releases. So are those features shipping or?

@WithinRafael We put the option to change your core in advanced so that up-front you only need to choose Beta or Experimental, but appreciate the feedback!

@WithinRafael 25H2 and 26H1 (as two different Windows core versions) will both support Beta and Experimental. Beta previews changes heading to the selected core in the next few weeks. Changes in Experimental are further out and may change or not ship.

Let me know what you think and what else we can do to make the Windows Insider Program work for you! This takes a team effort and thankful for everyone who worked on this! If you aren't already an insider, sign up today: microsoft.com/windowsinsider/

I'm excited to share some of the improvements that are coming to the Windows Insider Program!

@brandonleblanc @marcusash @phantomofearth @XenoPanther Working on it 😀

@marcusash @phantomofearth @XenoPanther @alecoot Alec needs to post more!

Microsoft is FINALLY adding a "Feature Flags" page to Windows Insider settings that will let you manually toggle new features on or off without needing to use vivetool or suffering through CFR! (Hidden bits in 26300.8155, not enabled yet)

@MarkSzili @brandonleblanc @marcusash @JenMsft @ariaupdated Sent you a DM!

@brandonleblanc @marcusash @JenMsft @ariaupdated @alecoot Happy to chat to you guys any time. Let me know the best way to pass on contact details. 😊

There’s a lot of work underway that Pavan shared earlier today. Something that I know has been at the top of a lot of people’s minds is the feeling that feedback goes into a void, without real people to review and see it on the other side. To help with that, I’ll be taking on an expanded role as the exec sponsor of the Windows Insider Program to listen, engage, and help shape what’s ahead with the Windows community. Over the coming weeks, we’ll also introduce you to members of the product teams that will help you get answers on the topics you care about most. I’d love to hear from you. What would you like to see more of from us as we get started?
