    look for a folder $windows~BT in the root of C, if it's not there make sure you are up to date in WU and then reboot and check again. Make sure hidden files are viewable.

    Incorrect, Windows uses BITS

    “Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)” this service allow windows to download all files and update that is used by Automatic Windows Update and other Windows components.

    BITS uses the idle bandwidth of network connection, when your connection is idle BITS silently download files in background.

    either way you will have at least a shared/slow d/l of files to your machine even slow. You never will fill find a null upon a certain d/l direction like MS servers

    maybe it was at MS. or maybe you didn't clean it up from the last insiders install.

    Probably mimics the file dates from the RTM. IIRC July10 was when it was compiled.

    I noticed that too! I think it is probably because the files are being extracted, I've noticed extracted files seem to keep the original date of the folders.

    My wife's laptop has not started it yet. She is using 8.1 pro with liget key and reserved her copy. Maybe it is being rolled out at different times or something. Maybe it might also do with your netspeed as she currently has 1 meg line. Im just glad i did mine a week ago :D

    Not sure, people who click the setup.exe get an error. There may be something in \windows\software distribution to kick it off, at least it looks like there could be.
