Anyone opting into Windows Insider Hub, now that Windows 10 has officially launched? Wondering where the cost / benefit ratio might land.

Find out how to install the Insider Hub on your PC here when using the final release of Windows 10. (Scroll to the bottom of the page to find the instructions.) Swipe left from the Start screen on your phone and find it on the App list. Be sure to open it at least once so you'll receive important notifications from the app.

Thought about it, and I guess I could probably still do it. But little incentive v/s MSDN sub :(
 
I'll stay with insider builds on my surface pro 3 for now and have the insider hub installed there.
 
Hopped off the fast track last night, and debating about whether to leave the program completely or see if the slow track is better.

Hadn't used my laptop in a few days, and was surprised to see the "getting things ready" screen when I went to use it last night. Build 10525 had installed, and I wasn't pleased to see the ugly "evaluation copy" watermark make its return to my desktop - especially after hearing of possible future activation issues (link). Kicker, though, was having Chrome rendered unusable - immediately crashes on launch. I read there are work-arounds, but we're talking production boxes now, not keen on testing alpha level software in a production environment.
 
You should leave the insider program on production machines. Bugs like this have to be expected in insider builds.

Yeah, moving forward I think I'd limit it to VMs only ... unfortunately that appears to be exactly where people are having activation issues. And I should clarify - by production I mean any non-test environment - so home rigs count as production to me since they, you know, need to be productive. :bleh:

Same here. My main rig is running non-insider builds and my surface gets the shiny new test-builds. ;)
 
My desktop has only ever run Windows 10 insider. I'm keeping it on the fast ring. (After Windows 10 went official, you had to re-enable it.)
