I would like to add support for Edge to our web push service before the Preview is released to the public. Is there any way to download the Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 17063?

Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) blows the W3C/IETF Success Prevention Depts out of the water!
See my comment below 4-Jul-16. Edge engineers no longer have an excuse to hamstring Microsoft Hub Notification broadcasts. (NB: Firebase are also working on implementing background geolocation!!!)
Broadcast Messaging and Topic Based subscription is now available to
your WebApp just like native Apps thanks to FCM.https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/js/send-multiple
I am absolutely ecstatic about this, as we all should be, and equally
grateful to FCM for having managed to bypass the recalcitrance and sheer
bloody-mindedness of spec-authors to provide functionality that everyone
outside the ivory-towers was begging for.Anyway rejoice and be glad as Native Apps have one less stick to beat us
over the head with. And you Firefox fans are no longer stuck with
Mozilla's third-rate AutoPush!Now if we can only get background geolocation with ServiceWorkers
nothing can stop WebApps: -

[[[ I've sent the following to Elio Damaggio of Microsoft ]]]
Hi Elio,
Can you please help me with a conundrum I simply cannot work out by myself?
How can the author of this comprehensive problem description and technically brilliant solution: -
https://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2013/09/16/delivering-push-notifications-to-millions-of-devices-with-windows-azure-notification-hubs/
be the same person to allow his name to be put to this second rate piece of ****: -
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-webpush-protocol-06Why can't Web Apps subscribe to Topics with all device-topic matching done in the Push Service totally unseen from the Application Server?
Why do you hate us?
Cheers Richard Maher

Regardless of W3C and IETF handicapping, please support Windows Notification Hub topic-base multi-cast to the UI: -
Topic-based multicast. Broadcasting push notifications to different markets, based on interests of individual users, requires efficient pub sub routing and topic-based multicast logic

Please also see https://github.com/w3c/push-api/issues/189#issuecomment-207477278
I would be grateful if Microsoft would take an active roll in specification formulation

I just assumed this was supported in 1.0... guess not. Maybe they're holding off until they figure out some way to shoehorn Cortana into this functionality.

Really important new feature, please add! Edge/IE is now the only major browser not supporting some kind of an offline Push API, would be a great start for Edge to show Microsoft will now keep up with new standards.
