The testing was originally planned to begin tomorrow but was delayed for some unknown reason. With only a few days left in the week though, it doesn’t appear as if Insiders will have to wait too much longer.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
