| Oct 4, 2014 at 3:52 | comment | added | Psycogeek | Bugs should be reported (not that it will do any good never has) It should still be concidered that "bugs" as they can be called can still have "answers" that solution or workaround them. On one side I agree that bugs in this releace are MSes problem, and have no long term value, on the other hand is superuser going to be the only site that will look like they are oblivious? Is SE (general) happy about sending users elsewhere for (what ammounts to) almost everything anymore? Software never comes out of Beta :-) So I agree only on the terms that Bugs that may be fixed, are treated different. | |

It is trivially easy to get access (for adults) so long as you have a Microsoft account. If you are using Windows 8 then chances are you have an account already so getting access to the preview is a simple process of clicking "I agree", you being underage means you cannot be legally bound by the EULA and hence they will not supply it to you nor support you. That is your problem I'm afraid, the build is still public to any eligible persons. | |
| Oct 3, 2014 at 16:01 | comment | added | Mokubai Mod | @damryfbfnetsi you should also consider that if you have access to one of these "private" builds then you almost certainly have agreed to an NDA of some sort and disclosing sensitive information about upcoming features in these private builds will likely lead to a breach of the NDA and you might be putting SE in a position where it has to defend itself from legal proceedings or takedown notices. I would not want any of our users to put the site in that position. | |
| Oct 3, 2014 at 15:47 | comment | added | Mokubai Mod | I would consider any build that is not made publicly available to be off topic as the results and problems can not be verified by the community. If you have been given a personal build then your support should be provided by the person who gave you that build. | |
| Oct 3, 2014 at 14:41 | comment | added | gparyani | Certain Windows builds are only made available to Windows Insiders, so should questions about such builds be on-topic? | |
| Oct 3, 2014 at 14:38 | comment | added | gparyani | We did have a beta off-topic close reason, but it was misused because certain users closed any question about beta software, not just about bugs, and so that's one reason they removed it. I think that a custom close reason for such questions would be better. | |
