Microsoft is just relying on the feedback they collect from Windows Insider Program (a.k.a. program for volunteers beta testers) to fix bugs before a new version is released widely.

Once upon a time, you were able to get a free Windows 8 license if you join that program. And yes, when I was young and naive and couldn't care less about random things breaking, I joined the program, just like when I used to root Android phones and flash ROMs every other week.

(On the other hand, corporate IT almost certainly only roll out updates half or one year after they become available, when these bugs are likely already fixed.)

Anyone who would opt-in to use a buggier version of an already buggy and unreliable OS without being paid should be psychologically evaluated but instead they're trusted to be QA testers for the most widespread desktop OS in the world which is also a critically important tool in businesses and government organizations that keep most countries running.

I wouldn't worry about it. It isn't clear anyone is even reading any of their reports anyway.

I imagine it sends a fax to a printer that's had its tray removed and is mounted above a waste bin

So you can get rooted by the security issues disclosed.

Isn't it a wonderful catch 22?
