Thanks to the trials, as many as 200,000 nuggets of “UIFs” or “user-initiated feedback” were received by Microsoft from these users. Joe Belfiore, the Corporate Vice President of Microsoft of the Operating Systems at that time wrote in an official Windows blog that the testers were “a vocal bunch”. A preview version of Windows 10 experiment 2014 was launched before it was available for the end user. Belfiore was in charge of Microsoft’s tablet, phone and PC designing. The Microsoft leader had said that Windows 10 was going to be very different. The blog also suggests that only 36% of installations of the Windows 10 Technical Preview are in VMs. The other 64% were being run on actual PCs. This implies the feedback was based on “medium-term” and declared after a one-off experimentation. Since then, several versions of Windows 10 were launched in the coming years. Only recently did we get a hold of the Windows 11. That shows the success of the Windows 10. Versions of Windows 10 that were launched in the market:
