Over the weekend, Microsoft crossed the 1 million registrant mark for its Windows Insider program, Microsoft VP Joe Belfiore announced in a blog post today.
“That equates to a lot of people using the Windows 10 Technical Preview and sending us feedback,” Belfiore wrote. “How much feedback? Over 200,000 pieces of user-initiated feedback have been submitted to us via the Windows Feedback app from Windows Insiders like you.”

Microsoft shares that 36 percent of participants are trying out the Windows 10 Technical Preview via virtual machines; the rest are doing so on personal computers, Belfiore wrote.
