Oh, I don't freakin think so.....

That said, I was able to download the preview without agreeing to join that WIP thing...

You will comply! You must comply. Give up your data! Or we will zap ⚡ your PC!

Lol! No such luck! I went on an water leak emergency call. Made some $bucks. :)

About 10 more minutes. Then did I read some updates after install?

Look guys, am I wrong or not, thinking that W10 is heck of more ready to use than W8 Alpha or even Beta was ? I had many problems with them, can't find much with 10. Win 8 didn't look ready for prime time till RTM. Couldn't even consider using it as main OS til than.

I agree, so far Ten has worked great, not come across any issues, i have used 7 and 8 a lot (currently use 8 as my main OS) but the preview of 8 didn't do much for me.

Well, Count, it's Windows 8 with a screen door on the front.

Completely agree - I can't find anything I don't like...(that is saying a lot!) - in fact the exact opposite experience to Windows 8.0!

Apparently things don't download when my computer goes to sleep!!

It say's it has three hours to go!

I'm just curious, is the download link for .ISO's same for everyone? Or we all have unique ones?

e.g. This is mine: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=510225

Things are going well for me so far. I installed the latest Nvidia drivers for Windows 8.1 and they work just fine. I went to my Steam games SSD and send the application Icon to desktop and she fired up first time. I verified the install of Grid Autosport and it's working good. Had a good few laps trouble free.

I also installed all my motherboard drivers from Asus for 8.1 and again trouble free.

Pretty happy so far and it doesn't seem so hard to find my way around. :)

I was hoping more for a lightning rod. Speaking of that, Defender looks different too. Control panel has few added thingies. On the desktop there's no Charms bar (don't know if it's good or bad) and so far I'm not ecstatic about start menu but seems to be more versatile than W7.
