I would not expect anything to happen before the release time of 10AM PST and Microsoft has already stated that this will be released over a period of time to prevent bandwidth issues and not a worldwide synchronised release The standard monthly updates do not reach me here in the UK until at least 24 hours after the actual release time in Redmond, this is many times larger file than a standard update so it may be several days before it's available everywhere

Hi there.

Isn' it time for Ms to consider releasing something like this via Bit Torrent from its secured servers -- avoids bandwidth problems, ensure decent distribution and actually should be cheaper -- why cater for a HUGE temporary surge in downloads on standard servers when bit torrent distrubutes this stuff decently.

Lots of Linux distros do this -- and I'm quite sure that good mirror services such as Univ. Of Warwick (UK) control their stuff adequately.

Cheers

Jimbo...isn't that the intention of this? Maybe I've misinterpreted MS.

The iso is now available using this link

edit: this link I posted incorrect and still links to old version. Do not use it.

Apologies to all.

Downloading now.

It seems this is the nominally preview version not the 100% official version I have just discovered on another site but it is almost certainly identical anyway - I'm going with it.

So no watermark or other extras ? :)

Downloaded, thanks for the link cereberus.

Pity it's not 14393.10 though.

Barman58 · 02 Aug 2016

AFAIK none of the official sources have been higher than 14393.0 with later two stage updating to 14393.5 and 14393.10

Still downloading but will be fine I'm certain - apparently not the official iso but the time stamp on it is today.
