I think Bill's main point is that other than himself and

There might be others who test when something seems appropriate to them
and they have time ;)
I tried, but I never got
even to the point of getting it to even compile/build much
less to a point where I could *test* :)
I'm hoping for several things in the coming months, just began installing
and reviewing the community preview of Visual Studio 2015. Again, there is
a free-to-use community edition.
Something very, very interesting there; they've come back around to the
idea of a long-lived C language runtime again (not msvcrt.dll, a successor
to the Visual Studio 2012 flavor).
So the 2015 team believes it will live on to the next generation products.
So did the VS '97 folks, so that is no guarantee, but it's hopeful.
I think this is somewhat because from what I've been reading, apparently
Windows 10 will be good forever, "forever" at least being the life of
the machine. The Zen Master then replied, "We'll see."
