In its Windows 10 announcement post today, Microsoft also announced that it is working with Xiaomi on a new program that will allow selected group of Mi 4 users to test Windows 10 on their handset. 

This group of power user “will be invited to help test Windows 10 and contribute to its future release later this year. These power users will have the opportunity to download the Windows 10 Technical Preview – installing it and providing their feedback to Microsoft.”

This is the first time that Microsoft has teamed up with Xiaomi — known primarily for its low-cost handsets and other devices in Asia — to test an upcoming version of Windows.

The company did not provide any other details about how this program will work, what Mi 4 users will need to do to get selected to it, and whether they will be able to dual boot between Android and Windows 10 or not.
