I got it yesterday - as an "Insider" temporarily. It seems to be running just fine - no problems, so far. (Keeping my fingers crossed). Winver showing 1803 (OS Build 17133.1)
Update: It is now showing Build 17133.73 after update, I just received.

I read an article that thinks (based on talking to a microsoft insider) that it may be delayed by several weeks...because of some problems recently discovered...
Hi All,
I'm glad now that I read an article on another site that's similar to this one, that informed me how to get the spring creators update by simply becoming a windows insider on the ' Release Preview ' level. So far both of my system's seem to be working normally. At one point in time I was an 'active' windows insider participant..but it got to the point that I didn't seem to have enough time to devote to testing windows 10, so I opted out.

Hi there
Installed as a VM via ESD-->ISO conversion trick. Downloaded the ESD from Ms server
No probs --even Networking is functioning correctly this time -- note SMB1 doesn't have the auto disable "feature" in it any more if you enable SMB1. Control panel still exists - I prefer that to the hideous settings thing anyway. I simply search for it, open file location, right mouse click and choose send to desktop (create short cut) --easily done.
Another issue I've found is that LibreOffice Writer documents can not now be pinned to the system tray launcher. They will pin to a 'Writer' shortcut but not the universal launcher. Whether that is a pure W10 issue or a LibreOffice issue I can't say. All I know is that all versions of W10 up to SCU and the earlier (a few months earlier) LibreOffice would allow this.
So another slight niggle.
The first install of the spring update finished unsuccessfully. The second forced attempt resulted in a successful install. After the successful installation, the first thing I did was a scanhealth command. Of course, there were problems that could not be corrected. This is because the only ISO I can find to download is level 15! It dosen't match the current maintenance level. An old DBA saying, always have a way back. I have re-imaged back prior to the update. I am going to wait and see how this one plays out. So far, it ain't good!
"there were problems that could not be corrected. This is because the only ISO I can find to download is level 15"
Where did you get the ISO ?
Get the esd-decrypter-wimlib-37 file at the top of this page - https://pastebin.com/raw/mepnsM6D
Then scroll down and download the ESD file appropriate for your version and bitness. eg; for English-US -
http://fg.ds.b1.download.windowsupda...58afb0c864.esd
This article will explain how to use the descrypter to convert ESD to ISO, either to single or multiple versions, place on Desktop, mount and run setup.exe. This has worked for multiple users w/o issue.
