Along with the new release, Microsoft is introducing an interesting cadence option for how quickly you will receive new builds. The "ring progression" goes from development, to testing, to release. By being in the slow cadence, you will get more stable builds, but they will arrive less often. By choosing the fast option, it allows you to receive the build on the same day that it is released. As a quick stats update, to date Microsoft has received over 250,000 pieces of feedback through the Windows Feedback tool, 25,381 community forum posts, and 641 suggestions in the Windows Suggestion Box.

Opt-out instead of opt-in is still attempted rape.
It is opt-in, you can't even get into the program and download the software without going through the pages that explicitly telling you what the program is and what they collect. This is not buried in a EULA or a document written in legalese, it is in plain English written very clearly so if you have gone through that and still applied for the program and still downloaded and run the software then you have indisputably opted in, it could not be any more clear.
