It's on Route 666.

Downloading esd files from mini-server. This is the first time I've used this method.

I think Donna tweeted some pseudo-code like "If (Dev) Then Insider"... Obviously I'm not included but that's besides the point... it should be "If (patient) Then Insider"... LOL - but you guys are legends (in my eyes anyway)

Ditto on "Preparing to install -- 100%." All three test machines are sitting there waiting for the next shoe to drop!
Thanks for the heads-up, guys!

[PS Added next morning: 19 hrs later] I'm not thrilled about the current status update info provided while the OS is installing (sticks on "Preparing to install" way too long, and gives no inkling of what the installer is doing). I'm also astounded that the same OS that upgrades in about 20 minutes on the same hardware (Version 17134) takes about 90 minutes on my Dell XPS 2720 (i7 Haswell, 16 GB RAM, 256 GB Samsung EVO 850 SSD). On my Surface Pro 3, it took over 3 hours (i7, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB LiteOn SSD); on my Dell Venue Pro 7130 (i5, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB LiteOn SSD) it took even longer! I'm hoping this is a momentary glitch or aberration of some kind. I'd hate to see this become standard behavior for the next iteration of Windows.
