    insiders did get it first, they've been running it for a week or two now, the non-insiders are currently downloading it now

    What if, tomorrow after the final files are added the results are different? What if it's better to take the long run and wait for the update on release date?
    Or you think no changes are to be made from now till tomorrow ?

    yea thats just because they didn't want to provide isos or the whole world would start installing it before they had it ready. Look how many updates already.

    My guess would be that at the last minute, MS will add some last minute patches to the image, then it will be installed with all the latest patches pre-installed.

    I am in Israel. Right now I decide to restore my Surface Pro 3 to factory settings, did it, confirmed during reset to reserve my copy of Windows 10 then I installed over 100 updates on Windows 8.1 and now I see the $Windows.~BT folder with two folders inside (Sources and DUDownload) 140 MB. It sit at this already about 30 minutes with no changes in volume and files.

    was it there before you reset it? if not then they are probably just sending out files in waves.
