I took mine off. Waiting for the final version. To heck with all those updates.
I did burn the latest version tho.
I read somewhere that Toshiba wants to start pumping out laptops that will have a built-in push key for Cortana, that you tap to instantly have access to hear and talk and do all your Cortana related inquiries, can't remember where the article was, but I read it last week somewhere. I'm assuming the first models are going to hit the USA and countries that will have Cortana upon release as Canada will not at the moment on the July 29th date.
So, tbh it makes me wonder as well when the RTM will be. Are they already manufacturing laptops and just waiting for the O/S or will they wait some time and it will come in August or September before school? Or is Microsoft planning on trying to get everyone on Windows 7 & 8 to be upgraded to Windows 10 for the school year?
I meant that usually MS targets the holiday season buying frenzy with their releases. Both Windows 7 and Windows 8 were released in October, so that the laptop you buy during holidays has the new OS.
So it could be that they are releasing a half-baked version now, to benefit from early adopters finding the bugs they've missed.
This way, when mainstream buyers get it after Thanksgiving, it's already fixed.
Hmmmm? I began to noticed this because I'm using pre-paid USB Mobile Broadband and Windows 10 TP(now IP) absolutely doesn't allow updating on metered connections, so I have to download the ISO's as they come out(usually from MEGA), but when upgrading it does look for updates and implements them. Then when installed, it's back to not being able to update. The only updating I can do is Defender, and for that I HAVE to do it through Defenders UI.
I meant that you won't be able to turn updates OFF on Windows 10 consumer editions.
