    So there is no chance that MS will ban your licence if you update early. Already did my Windows tablet

    If I have a PC with Insider build now I can 100% secure a clean install?
    The steps are: Don't enter the key in the installation process,keep it online and enter the ms account and it will be activated, right?

    There are a few million testers depending on that. MS wouldn't give it to their most loyal customers and then screw them two weeks later, now would they?

    mine is already activated and it was easier for MS to not let you activate until 29th so.. do not worry

    umm put the wrong quote ( 1rst one) lol

    Exactly...too much paranoia running rampant. After my first clean install (with no use whatsoever of an insiders MSA) I set my BIOS clock ahead 5 years to make sure and everything was just the same.

    In my principal computer i'm not going to do a clean install and delete the windows.old folder with Windows 8.1 because I want to wait and see if Microsoft deactivate my key or something

    Not sure if forwarding time is a proper test. You cannot test the processes MS will start at GA :cool2:.

    It convinced me. Think about what they would have to do to deactivate it and since this is the same code as OEMs are building new PCs with they would get deactivated too or not activated to begin with. It's not going to happen.

    I do not question their ability (since easily done), question is only will they do.

    They won't, what early reason would they want to? Just so they can get reams of bad press and anger every tester they have and every journalist who writes about it? As somebody above said if they didn't want it tested they wouldn't have let you test it and they certainly wouldn't be updating a build that is going to die in a few days the way they are. If I had a farm I would bet it that nothing will happen after the 29th other than some more new fixes.
