      How much are they offering in pay to run what is essentially a lab of their products at my site? Don't they want to do any quality testing of the software, or do they just let Joe Jerkoff and his Crew of Unknown Ability perform this mighty task? When did Windows 10 become a community project? Where is your source code, idiots? What a crap deal.

        "How much are they offering in pay to run what is essentially a lab of their products at my site?"

        They pay nothing. Just like Apple is not paying for macOS preview users nor any Linux distro maker pays for external beta testing. Or any other of the thousands of public beta tests out there.

        "Don't they want to do any quality testing of the software, or do they just let Joe Jerkoff and his Crew of Unknown Ability perform this mighty task?"

        Yes they do internally test. Are you in general against any public beta testing, or are you bashing MS because that's the easiest way to have likeminded idiots upvote you?

      To marketing moron, this idea sounds good on paper. But I doubt most businesses have the spare staff and equipment to be alpha testers for Slurp. So this will be idea that fizzle like the Hindenburg.

    And isn't Azure a cost based thing? So you have to now pay Microsoft to be a Microsoft beta tester. Now someone really had large kahunnas to suggest that.

    Creator users, no worries: after a review by Microsoft's User Intentions Inference team your machine has already enrolled you. Please prove your worth as a registry wrangler if you'd like to resign.
