Analogy/Comparison

This is like a new car model being sold only to a few test drivers first to find and fix any issues before it’s made available to everyone.

Why It Matters

This matters because major computer updates can sometimes cause problems or bugs. By releasing the update slowly, Microsoft can fix issues early, preventing widespread problems like those seen with the Windows 10 October 2018 Update, which deleted some users’ files.
