Hello Windows Insiders!
Today it has been exactly 1 year since
we launched Windows 10. We released the
first major update for Windows 10 in November. And on Tuesday – we will begin to roll out the Windows 10 Anniversary Update to over 350 million devices. We’ve had 3 major releases in 1 year which is pretty incredible. When we look back over the past year, we’ve been amazed by how passionate Windows Insiders and fans have been. They’ve been so instrumental in helping us make a better Windows 10 and delivering what people want the most. Gabe Aul and Bill Karagounis talked a lot about the backstory behind getting the Windows Insider Program off the ground in
their presentation at Build a few months ago. I’m going to talk about how we have grown and shaped the Windows Insider Program since the release of the Windows 10 November Update and what’s next as we continue to evolve the program!

More feedback, more builds, more awesomeness
Since the November Update, we have responded to Insider feedback with more frequent build releases. We have released a total of 28 PC builds and 20 Mobile builds. We released more builds to Insiders for the Anniversary Update than we did for the launch of Windows 10 as well as the November Update. And Windows Insiders have given us 70 million pieces of feedback this year alone and 5,000+ (including bug fixes, UI changes, feature requests, etc.) improvements to Windows 10 based on Windows Insider feedback.
