Letting the public do their testing is right out in the open:

Home page - Windows Insider Program

1,000,000++ members

One advantage for developers is that you can run the Insider Version of W 10 dual booting with W 7, something you cannot do if you take the "FREE" upgrade route.

The requirements are stiff, you must be capable of zeroing your hard disk and starting with a clean install if something goes really bad, willing and able to recover from serious problems and workaround things that do not work.

Another person and I are attempting to run a Win XP program without success so far.
