Drew1903 That's the problem with large scale beta testing, lots of useless feedback. If you look at the feedback hub on W10 you'll see lots of these. Heck, sometimes people even send feedback about stuff that it's not even Microsoft's responsibility, like support to certain apps or hardware.

Muriel,

I will just say there were/are pros & cons to offering the beta OS Builds to all people. I'll leave it at that, although, there benifits likely outweigh the negatives, in the long run.

And there are always those who replace the OS in their one & only computer with a beta Build...

Cheers,
Drew

  Drew1903 Agreed, in the long run it's worth it to have a public beta, but it's still annoying seeing people that can't differentiate a beta version from a final version.

    Muriel, you made me laugh! I've written in a number of tech forums for a while. Seems every time we've had a new OS, that offered 'Previews' 😉 to all people, there's been the challenge of responing to those who had put it (instead) in their daily-driver, their "production machine"... and the punchline, they only owed one computer. OR the beta testers who ran RTMs thinking they could/would go forever.
    
    Yes, I sure know what you mean!
