Ah. So we might have to wait. That's a bit of a bummer..
Also it's going to be sold on USB sticks instead of disks.. At least that is what I read..

Yeah, I've got it in my root directory, too. It's 12:07 AM. Come on, Windows, any time... *crosses fingers*
Two links that might be of interest.. Not sure if this works but you can create Windows 10 installation media.... Wondering myself now if I can do this and avoid waiting for the dowload to auto start..
Download Windows 10 from Microsoft. Create install media
Fix installation errors

Oh ho, you say that now, but you just wait until something something Microsoft something.
But it does have Cortana.... Try asking it what it is wearing for some really amusing replies. Just connect a microphone and open Cortana it's fun

I love Cortana. I have her on my Windows phone, and she has become indispensable. She sings songs to me, tells me jokes. When the computers rule the planet, Cortana has promised to vouch for me. 
I'm slightly jealous everyone seems to be getting the install ... Not me
Mine is installing now. Well "Preparing to install" which takes forever, then does the "installing" which takes ages too.
Even this isn't working

It creates two folders then does nothing.... The GWX icon just up and vanished but still says my upgrade is reserved... What's going on?

I'm not sure the waves are by country - one of my machines got the update, the other is still waiting...
couple of quick thoughts:
1) Still don't like the start menu, so I'll be installing start10 at some time over next week
2) Wifi sense is a crazy idea and was turned off instantly.
Yeah that whole sharing your password no not a great idea. I wonder what brainchild thought that one up...
It's been on Windows phone for a while. As an idea it's a good one, at least in theory. You automatically log in to free wifi on the go, but the with friends of friends on facebook thing is stupid.
Reporting in from Windows 10 and Edge.

The outcome is that Microsoft are building a massive database of wifi passwords - many of which will be reused by users on other accounts. It will be just sitting there waiting to be breached...
Edge I used for about three minutes - it doesn't have extensions so without lastpass or an adblocker a waste of time at present.
Yeah, they're also mapping Wireless networks, in the same way Google are. Apparently you can opt-out but you have to change the SSID on the wifi, meaning you need an opt-out, so your SSID would end up looking something like "WiFi_Opt-out_No_map" just to get them to not map you, which of course they will anyway.
In theory it's a decent idea, in practice it's completely nuts.
Yeah, I'm sticking with Firefox, just figured I'd try it out.
Didn't Google have to pay a sizable fine for those sorts of wifi shenanigans?
Maybe Microsoft needs to be taught a lesson, too.
