The Windows Insider Program for Business ensures that business users can register and get access to the early builds of Windows using their Azure Active Directory corporate credentials. "This option will also increase the visibility of feedback submitted by you and others in your organisation - especially on features that support your productivity and business needs. We'll also help you deepen your connections with the IT Pro community, collect feedback within your organisation, and resolve blocking or critical issues to better support your organization's needs sooner,' the company says on its website.
