You'll be able to get all of the OS updates (like WP8.1) without having to wait for the carriers or OEMs. The benefit for Microsoft is that developers will be able to test their apps on the new OS version with real-life usage (as opposed to an emulator) before the general release of the update. It also serves as sort of a beta test for us non-developer enthusiasts that have signed up for the program—we can help identify bugs so that MS can hopefully patch them before general release.

are you crazy ? You dont need the preview program right now, you must have gdr3 + black already. You can install the preview for wp8.1 when it comes though.

Not everyone has the latest updates. Dev program lets us get them without carrier support. I wouldn't have gdr3 on my 8X without it. Probably not 8.1 either. You're not crazy. You're proactive.
