    I know what you mean ! that's why I have my server standing here at home so I can transfer easy and fast big files instead of uploading trough my network connection :tea:

    lol ... a nice bandwidth also would make me run a server at home but as an old private windows fanboy with 1mB/sec upload rate, it makes no sense to do so ;)

    So very true !! I do have 12mB/sec upload here and 120mB/sec down not the fastest bandwith but it will do ;)

    RTM ............ millions and millions of copies .............. I recently purchase a dell laptop for a friends kids university start. It came load with win 7 64 (the recommended option and since I don't need the headaches the obvious one), I see dell loading windows 10 on millions of their machines for the school rush just because they want the calls to start so they can debug and help MS make Win 10 the best it can be. They are in the service and support field and care less about selling computers.

    Phone and tablet BS is what this OS is still about. Now how the hell do I uninstall all these useless appz? How to I do things without a live account? Why do they want to know what I am doing and where I am located? I think China will just embrace this new OS with open arms.

    Snake is right we can put up with a lot for better game play, but then that is the chosen few that can deal with it.

    Regards

    I already sense tutorials when RTM comes out about how to remove all the apps, restore the old photo viewer and calculator, use a local instead of a MS account, etc. To a certain extend, they already exist. I think that's all we can do. Because some of the stuff is more deeply integrated into the system now (like the Start menu, Cortana, Edge...), it will be harder to get rid of those if you want, but I'm optimistic that it will be possible to hide all of the unwanted stuff as best as possible, just like on Windows 8.1. Boot to desktop and pin the most used applications to the taskbar and you rarely have to got to the Start screen. Use a local account and disable OneDrive in group policy and you don't have to deal with it. It takes some time and afford, but it's possible to circumvent most of the stuff you don't like.

    ^^^ Yes I to think this is the next step, even if KMS 6 is not changed the boys here will have something to do to keep them busy.

    I have only vm installed this to date and always with local account and network disconnected, custom setting and click OFF repeatedly. One drive I can get rid of the force feed as I can store all my porn, plans for nuclear weapons and other acts of terrorism :D on my own drives.

    As in getting rid of 8.1 metro Start menu classic is shaping up for 10 and hopefully they will find a way to group all the garbage and place it in one folder.

    I have a suggestion for the icon for this group

    Is there any reason that M$ would tell you if they already have RTM and the OEM's are already setting up dozens of pre-built pc's to auto-install copies of 10? I bet within an hour they could have a 100 or more brand new pc's boxed and ready to ship to your local best buy. Microsoft is going to do what and how they want to do things and it does not mean they are going to tell you or anybody else until they are good and ready

    Lol, it will never be bug free. They will just release it with as little bugs as "they" can find and fix the rest as time goes on. Kinda like they did with Windows 95B, 98SE, ME (oh wait, they never fixed this one lol), Windows Vista after all the updates and service packs, etc etc. Like I always said its never final until they drop support for it eventually.... ;) In other words XP just became final last year... lmao

    ... and NT4.0 had six and a half one (Service Pack 1 - Service Pack 6 and Service Pack 6a)


    By the way, here is the one billion € or $ question:

    "Which of these Service Pack's should NEVER be installed? The Odd or Even ...?"

    You pretty much have to install 1 so I would guess even.

    10130 x64 (with the last two upgrades) run's here on a HP Compaq NC6715S (with an old X1250 ATI graphic) - some bugs / performance prob's (ATI?) but it run's and does his work ;-)

    Microsoft calls the shots and we are just pawns in their update game, there's nothing to say they have to do anything, including telling anybody about when an os goes gold until they make that decision

    This. Don't forget that until Windows 8, almost all testing was done at Redmond. MS have gone through 3-4 builds without involving Insiders, probably just lots of internal focus testing. Insiders are just useful for finding problems over an extended period of time. We're useless when it comes to crunch time where bugs need to be found fast.

    They ARE working hard to test it and get as more bugs as they can before RTM/GA next month,so our Insider builds are not as important as we think these days:D.
