Dona also notes that the entire Windows Insider team is at the Ignite conference in Orlando where they are meeting other Insiders. “We are all at Ignite in Orlando this week. It’s been such an honor and a privilege to have gotten a chance to meet you all online all these years and this week it’s been simply magical to meet face-to-face,” writes Sarkar.
