Microsoft didn’t seem bothered about another leak of Windows 10.

“How could we be upset about lots of people wanting to try our new stuff?” tweeted Gabe Aul, the engineering general manager for Microsoft’s operating system group in a reply to a comment applauding his company’s “refreshing” attitude about leaks. “We’d prefer you stick to official builds though.”

Aul was referring to a new version of Windows 10, designated “Build 9901,” that leaked to file-sharing websites over the weekend.

His commentary was in contrast to positions Microsoft has taken previously, when it has, if not hampered the distribution of leaks, then at least been more forceful in urging users not to run unofficial builds, claiming that they were often infected with malware.
