Both Ed and I have also noted that basically the entire Windows Insider team, the people that helped found and shape the program, have recently moved on to other positions within Microsoft. With the oft-cited rumor that Microsoft axed its quality-assurance teams many moons ago, the fact that Microsoft’s beta teams have now given up (?) means that that a critical user-facing organization is being led by who, exactly? At some point Microsoft is going to have clean this up before moving on to Windows 12.
