Precisely my point.
If people don’t want to be part of the internal testing, or part of the QA testing, then they shouldn’t be running “Insider” or “Preview” stuff.

Insiders are not MS employees, though. That is also not the same as trained QA or security. You or I can join the insiders program. It is essentially public beta

More like alpha. Public beta are the normal (non-Insider) “Preview” versions… then they use a staged update deployment for QA.
And yes, MS is saving a lot of money on trained employees by using paying customers as testers.

Alpha is For sure more accurate. But for me that also means big security holes like that should be plugged before insider. I’m also a bit biased being a QA engineer
