    Hi everyone, what you're seeing is a limited release of the functionality so that we can understand usage scenarios and capture feedback. As was mentioned earlier in this thread, we do intend to roll out a change digest and make this feature available broadly. An overview and design concept was shared at Ignite, and you can view the session on demand here (as well as other details of our change deployment and communication approach):

Thanks Dean for your reply. We do have the AUG12 message in our message center, but no trace for the SEP02 message even thoug all message center preferences are selected. Any idea why we didn't get the SEP02?

You will get messages when they are relevant to your tenant, perhaps Dean is in a different region, different deployment path (e.g. First Release) to your tenant.

 

Back to your list, there are a number of items you mention that haven't made 'default'. Delve, Streaming Video, Custom Scripting and OneDrive UI are all company preferences and haven't ever been changed for us. They do all exist in the same settings screen in SharePoint Admin, perhaps someone at your end changed a load of switches by defauult.
