If I'll check for WUs,tomorrow,I'll find a RTM announcement up there?

 

The announcement is for RTM... I doubt you will get RTM build tomorrow. Unless you are working for a company that is manufacturing the devices.

 

They are announcing that they are sending RTM build to manufactures so they can put it on the devices.

RTM build won't start going out through WU till the 29th guys, from now till then they'll still work on bug fixes, expect a few patches post 10240 to come out on the 29th as well.  Though the way the upgrade/clean installs work, it'll download and install the patches then, not after, so you'll probably not notice in the end.

I hope Edge got a good bump for RTM, its still too wonky to be the default browser for most sites, including Office365.

I am on 8.1 and the metro browser is so good for a tablet, I hope they fix it soon. I do find that sleep/wake is just very slow on this though. MS really nailed the connected standby stuff in 10.

They did the same with Windows 8. (It hit RTM way before public release) all that happend was on public release you installed a few updates from Windows Update. The ISO's were identical. It won't matter if you install it tomorrow on the 29th the results will be the same.

The difference is...This time we can't install it before the public release date (as much as we don't have Microsoft's RTM ISOs)

They've said there will be at least another preview build before RTM through regular update channels. It would a bit silly to give us a test build when the final one is ready. :)

Now I'm asking myself if to install it or not...

Well, that could very well be the RTM and it'll be one final test before it rolls out to everyone, they did say that insiders will get it first, so that could be it.  Or maybe the plans changed?  It was suppose to RTM back on the 9th but was delayed to the 15th, so who knows?

We will get an ISO on 29th and before that i am sure an ISO will leak or an ESD that we can make an ISO from our-self. I will be shocked if an ISO is not able to be downloaded via MSDN in the next week tbh. You can upgrade with these ISO's then fresh install after that. Reason for this is microsoft is not going to require a business with multiple machines each to download the same file to upgrade. It's not efficient for people with multiple machines / limited bandwidth/download speed. (was also said in a Q&A you can upgrade via an ISO or windows update)

I think a build will be released before that as they did say they wanted a final test of the delivery before normal users get it.

Installing now. ANother user told me they haven't changed the hideous white titlebars. I guess since they are so close to RTM they are not going to change it. Does anyone else think that it was a horrible UI design choice to make windows so bland and so little change in active and inactive?

I rarely/never really lok at the titlebars unless I'm looking at the name of the window or minimizing windows. So I don't really care as I don't really notice anyway. I have bigger issues with apps that use custom window widgets for minimizing and closing windows, like office and Steam. they make life hell when serial minimizing windows.

I hope people are prepared for what they are getting into.

 

Every new build feels like a completely new Windows installation. Way to flip up the whole Windows-as-a-service thing.
