so what you are saying is that i can add "Beta tester of software used by millions worldwide" to my resume

Windows 10 feels like put together by a duct tape, unlike previous versions of Windows, even Windows Vista feels so wholesome and rugged compared to Windows 10

Sounds to me like some genius executive had a brilliant cost saving idea...

I never thought I'd see anyone taking credit for Vista.

I'd love to send a full dump to Microsoft. Working on one right now.

This comes close to confirmation about suspicions i've had about how industry has moved away from in-house beta to an end-user beta model. Very customer-hostile practice.

The problem also is the "windows as a service" idea. An operating system is NOT a service. A service is a website or an application. System code is different from application code. An operating system has thousands of complex moving parts that need to work on thousands of hardware configurations. MS used to make major upgrades every 3-5 years - 95/98/2000/XP. By switching to 2 major releases a year they just don't have the time to fully test everything. Slow it down to one major release every 2 years and there'll be fewer bugs.

They need to bring back the Tech Beta testers. I was one from MSN Explorer through Windows 7 until they decided to go with the telemetry from "public" betas and stopped listening to us.

Here's a vote for the Clonezilla video! It would be usefully useful I think! ;)

So, basically they do what the game world does... Early Access/Preorder = unpaid beta-testers

Wow, this... process of "testing"... Is so against the modern standards and methods of development. Dang, I can only imagine how much did they prolong the time-to-fix of some bugs and most probably made some bugs impossible to fix with those data.

That was why I hated Microsoft pulling telemetry from my PC. If they want to use MY hardware and MY electricity and resources for fixing THEIR problems, then I want them to pay rent!

How many of you got the "Bug Bash" email from Microsoft right after this video went live? I just have to laugh at the irony of that. Microsoft trying to get free labor because they don't want to maintain a proper accountable test team. However, I hope some people really do find some great bugs and help Microsoft fix them because the current insider build stuff is falling way too short and Microsoft just proved my point in this video by scheduling the Bug Bash.

TL;DR. You ARE the beta tester now.

There have definitely been moments where I wanted to send a 'full dump' to Microsoft XD

I was also in Test, somehow survived the layoffs and transitioned to Dev. You hit it right on the head.

So good to see you back on youtube. Thanks for all the great videos!

My boss "You're a Linux Admin, why do you have all our workstations configured to deliver Microsoft diagnostic data"? Me "I want Microsoft to know when their stuff breaks."

You have answered my long standing question of "How is is that Microsoft, a company with so much capital and the ability to poach talent from anywhere can't manage to get their fingers out of their nose and ship a working OS"
