The final OS is projected to launch in the coming weeks
Microsoft has recently revealed that Windows 10 was running on 200 million devices across the world, explaining that adoption of the new operating system goes much better than it did in the case of Windows 7 or 8.

The 'four of a kind' are 630, 635, 640XL & 640. They're all on 10.0.10586.36 though because I got fed up with waiting for the public release. It seems stable so I'm not sure why they're holding back, the only problem I've come across is the second language keyboard wouldn't download (it just kept saying 'Attention Required'), but that's since been sorted.
If anyone's interested, the carry case in the middle is a Go Travel Passport Wallet (non RFID blocking), and the strap is an unravelled Paracord Bracelet tied with a double fisherman's knot, as the standard strap was a bit short over winter jumpers.
