    Other than the post on the official Windows blog, I guess

    Although that doesn't say this is the RTM, just that "this build is one step closer to what customers will start to receive on 7/29"

    2015 and still burning ISOs to DVD? There's no real reason not to boot from a USB stick nowadays.

    Actually, I've been using the beta on my work laptop all along. I haven't had very many problems.

    Early on, I had network, sound and HDMI problems, but those were ironed out a long time ago.

    I don't use Edge or Cortana. Basically I just want it to be like a new version of Windows 7 and run all the same stuff better and faster with longer battery life. It does that very well at this point. I've only had 1 blue screen during the entire beta process. Windows 10 is very stable and a good OS. Much better than 8.

    The .iso's will be available on the Windows Partner Portal on August 1st. Or so I was told in a Windows 10 webinar last week. To use them you need to upgrade your Windows 7 or 8.1 machines online, let Microsoft do its hardware based digital entitlement think where it stores your motherboard info on its servers. Then you can clean install from the .iso and Windows will be automatically activated as long as you have the same motherboard. Hard drives can be changed to SSD's etc, without a problem, they claim. Your old product key can even be reused if you want to revert back to the original OS after the 30 day rollback period, after which the Windows.old folder will be removed.

    It is obvious, and a joke, to point out your username at this point.
