It's in the Insider's group so yes it's technically beta, though these days it's hard to see much of a difference unless you opt for the most extreme beta builds, which I don't. When I moved here from the Release Preview channel I did so primarily because I wanted to see how well the restored taskbar functionality (restored from Win10, and earlier) is working and whether it was time to finally abandon SAB--and it is--working fine, so far. Not as polished as SAB, but it'll do for me.

I've been using MWB Premium for a number of years so that along with Windows updates and updated browser should be fine. Thanks for that.

neither of those are great prices

is that under beta?

For some reason I suddenly have the urge to go shopping at Sears.
