Windows 10 to launch at the end of July, according to AMD

How in the world did the press know about the conference call and their details? I though those conversation are suppose to be private.

Maybe the "financial analysts" were supposed to think AMD will get a shot in the arm and pass the info on?

Edit: Either that or someone forgot to shut off the speaker phone again. :)

It sounds like the general public is going to be getting in on the fun real soon.

Could be.. I suspect August but July would be fine with me.

remember MS are in the 10100's builds no one has seen them they should be better than the builds we have seen like 10056

That logic doesn't seem to apply to W10, or b10061 wouldn't have broken functions, functions that worked in b10041.
The same thing happened in the two previews after b9841.

What bugs are you talking about. . .That is nothing more then a broad statement about nothing. . .

There are definitely parts that are unfinished, but I wouldn't call it buggy; in fact it amazingly stable considering. If it's buggy for you, it's likely an issue with your system not Win 10.

Maybe Saltgrass means stuff like this:

Here are some known issues for this build

• We know this one will be a bit painful but there is a bug with this build in which Win32 (desktop) apps won’t launch from the Start menu. The workaround is to use search to find and launch these apps and pin them to your taskbar for quick access.
• The Windows Store Beta (grey tile) and Project Spartan get unpinned after upgrading. You can re-pin them to your Taskbar from All apps on your Start menu.
• The version of the Mail and Calendar apps included in this build (17.4008.42281.0) have a known issue that causes every typed letter to appear twice. Which might be funny if it weren’t so irritating. We have fixed this issue with updated versions of the apps (17.4016.42291.0) available in the Windows Store Beta (grey tile). If you don’t open the Mail and Calendar apps within the first 15 minutes after logging in to your device for the first time after upgrading and your device is connected to the Internet, the apps should update automatically. You can also go into the Store Beta and check for updates manually at any time.
• Cortana will highlight things it will be able to help users with, but some of these features are not yet implemented and we are working to deliver them soon.
• There is a known issue where you might see a black screen with only your mouse cursor during login/logout. We have a fix for this coming via WU.
• Downloading music in the Xbox Music and Music Preview apps is currently broken. We also have a fix for this coming via WU.
• When you minimize an app playing audio, it may stop playing once its minimized.
• In Project Spartan, no selection highlight appears when selecting text in the address box. You can right click in the address box to cut/copy/paste and it will work as expected. We also have a fix for this coming via WU.
• Magnifier does not work when you put it into docked mode. We will also have a fix for this coming via WU.
