So Insiders will be getting one more RS1 build before August 2nd, which will be the RTM.

After all this time, do you still trust Bloggers, and so called internet journalist, when it comes to Windows releases?
I prefer the "Horses Mouth".
If it isn't posted at Microsoft's sites, Microsoft(dot)com, Technet, MSDN, and the Blog sites there, I just laugh.

When I tried to leave on the watermarked versions, it jumped to a page saying that you would have to clean install OS, but the non watermark versions worked fine when I changed the date to after Aug 2nd.

My take on that is. If you originally clean installed the Insider build, without ever doing an upgrade from a qualifying OS, when you leave the insider program activation will time out. If you did an upgrade from a qualifying OS, and got a digital entitlement, then leave, your OK. The original Insider builds could be run from a clean install with no need to do the free upgrade. Once the official Consumer build was released though, they changed the rules. Insider builds fall under the free upgrade rules. They have the same activation requirements as the consumer release.

I ain't no journalist but even I "know" that there will be at least one update until full RTM. Cant be many because RTM needs some time to be readied for August 2nd. MS also needs some time to distribute to stores and OEMs. It's also likely (if it didn't happened yet anyway) that we, insiders will be seeing parts of Rs2 soon.
There's also Wzor that's unusually quiet these days. Until it actually happens I don't believe any sources 100%, even MS.

Went and did some quests today, and had to tell them on about 5 of them, how useless they were to me.
Like the ones that have to do with MSN homepage. I just go there to see the news that interest me, but stuff like for MONEY\My Watchlist is useless to me, and with probably most people today, the poor(and middle class) are getting poorer, and have nothing to invest, duh!
Or XBOX stuff, as I'm not a gamer. And a few other features, that I have never used & will not use, as I do not need them.
But I did try the stuff(really).

Yeah, most of that stuff's useless to me too. I only do solitaire, and it chaps my bu** that it's tied to Xbox! Sheesh!

I do it the old fashion way, my grand mother taught me as a 5 year old, I use a Bicycle poker deck

Not only is it tied to Xbox, but it's slow and weird. Fortunately, I have a version of the good ol' Solitaire from Win7 that has been jiggered to install on Win10 - works great. Only problem is that I have to reinstall it after every new build - good ol' MS!

I don't use any of that extra stuff either, or apps, or what-have-you. I'm not exactly the target demographic for Win10 - just an old-school Windows Desktop user, who prefers real win32 programs, who doesn't do 'social' media, who has his music needs all taken care of, and who doesn't even own a device! Come to think of it, I'm not really anybody's target demographic

Definitely the way to go if you've got room on your desk ;-)

Same here, especially when the whole thing downloads, restart, upgrade fails, and it immediately starts downloading the WHOLE THING from the beginning. Getting very tired of it.

Well, download the appropriate .esd and create your own iso. That way, you only download once no matter what happens, and you can do an upgrade install or a clean install from the iso--your choice. On at least two occasions in the Insider's program I had to do that to upgrade-install the build as WU kept failing and reverting--my suspicions are of file corruption of some kind occurring through a WU attempt. You can completely eliminate that possibility by making your .iso--either from your own install.esd or an .esd downloaded from wzor.
