Windows 10 Mobile Insider program quietly comes to an end.

Windows 10 Mobile Insider program quietly comes to an end
Today, we have some bad news to pass along to those few remaining Windows 10 Mobile users who have been receiving updates via the Windows 10 Mobile Insider program. A tweet from Microsoft's Brandon LeBlanc indicates that no more insider builds of Windows 10 Mobile are coming. Windows 10 Mobile phones will still receive monthly security updates from Microsoft, but nothing else is expected to be pushed out.
Microsoft has already said that it won't be adding new features to Windows 10 Mobile which means that there will be no reason to send out any updates (again, other than security updates) to either the Fast or Slow ring. If you collect trivia, you might want to know that Windows 10 Mobile ends at Redstone 2 with the feature 2 branch. Keep that in mind, and perhaps you might win some money playing HQ.
For now, updates to Universal Windows apps will still revise the same apps on a Windows 10 Mobile handset. However, there will be a time when Microsoft drops the platform completely, and you might want to get prepared mentally for that eventuality.
