At the rate it's going there won't be any and they will miss the back to school buying season once again. Thinking people will want some kid to upgrade their new PC at bestbuy while they wait is a mistake.
I guess they don't need to hurry since the demand for new preinstalled hardware is rather low.....giving the upgrade away for free does surely not raise the sales of pre-installations IMHO
Plus Yen this will be spread out and not everybody going to get the build straight away .. I would think its going to take around a month for release's and anybody waiting for it .. Going to have to wait for it to be leaked due to Microsoft not rushing it out in case of problems ..?
The Redmond company has by then finalize the RTM of Windows 10, that is to say the Release to Manufacturing version or one that will be sent to the manufacturers to equip their products. But according to the website Neowin, citing internal sources, the RTMwill be curly this week.
They say it will take months. I still can't wait to see how many PCs they make inoperable in the process. Knowing how terrible hardware makers are at getting their drivers up to date makes me wonder how they can possibly think this will work. I guess that is why they plan on stopping the rollout and evaluating the process after each step, the first stop being after it is rolled out the insiders.
The months apply to devices that are non-generic with driver issues, you just need to click the windows icon in your tray and look at the compat report.. devices that will be in the "month range" will literally show up right away as problems, devices that get the upgrade asap will have no app/driver issues listed here.
I highly doubt the GWX app checks very extensively. It only does 3 checks: CPU clock, Memory and File System size. I do remember at some point that dialog told be a few applications were incompatible but now I can't find that list beyond the 3 checks. I know for starters the hotkey app on my Lenovo doesn't work with 10, I have two drives with 10 and 7, but nothing indicating that in the app in 7.
