Very pleased with Windows 10 notifications, reminds me of how KDE does theirs.
More copies from the Linux world.

Is there going to be a clean upgrade path from the Win 10 technical preview to the release version?
For some reason I doubt it. I don't remember there being one for any of the recent releases Vista through 8.
I don't follow. I assume by upgrade he means use upgrade/full media to install windows 10 clean, and not really do an upgrade.
What I've read is speculated - after you upgrade your computer, you can download an ISO, then use that ISO to install cleanly Windows 10. Your computer will then check in with MS and register itself against some ID that MS has stored from when your computer did the upgrade. One example of something they could store would be your Windows 8(8.1) key that's stored in the BIOS, assuming as someone mentioned a little while ago that it really is different for every machine deployed, and not generic like it was for Windows 7.

You may want to read his comment again. We are talking about going from the technical preview to the release OS. In Windows Vista, 7, and 8 that wasn't possible and required a wipe and install of the most recent version.

Doh - yep... missed that!
OK that front Paul Thurrott has reported that your machine WILL be upgraded from preview to RTM code and no clean reinstall will be needed.
Current what we don't know is if we will receive a RTM candidate before the final RTM that should be pushed to us on July 29.
I can't find it now, but I read an article last night about how MS has changed the windows update path that all of the Preview members were on over to the normal - real - update servers.
FYI, MS just dropped a new build a few hours ago. 10240

Thanks good to know. That is good to hear considering how it used to work in the past.

Installing Windows 10 build 10240...

Trying to filter some huge logs by date. Really sucks.

That is not what I read his clarified statement to be. The way I understand it, you can STAY on Windows 10 TP and continue to receive updates on the TP branch, but for full install I thought it was clarified that it had to be from a legally licensed device. not a TP license.

Just had to write this on a thread elsewhere. People get so bent out of shape if you do anything besides just tell them what they want to hear. Why do people go to a forum for guidance if they get all upset if advice is given, or even if probing to get adequate information in order to give advice is asked!
Giving advice without the full context and ignoring what little information was supplied (a P2000 being deemed acceptable gives us a load of information, for example) isn't just not helpful, it is reckless and honestly means that we are being condescending and don't respect the OP. Unfortunately for the OP, his position on only wanting to be told what he wants to hear doesn't mix with a respectful answer. It is an attempt to treat everyone here as a professional worthy of a respectful discourse and providing needed insight, even when it is harsh and not supportive of already made decisions, sometimes people don't like what they hear. But I'll take professionalism, honesty, benefit of the doubt and helping those seeking help over pandering, condescension and just trying to hear ourselves talk and get points any day. Is it the popular path? No. Is it what makes the community valuable? Certainly.

What if you upgraded to Windows 10 Preview from a licensed full install?
Where is the revised statement?

My laptop is at home, I'll try to remember to look at the new branch I've been moved over to that according to another article I can't currently locate indicated that the RTM would be downloaded to my machine on July 29.

It had something to do with
Insiders appear to now be on branch TH1 instead of fbl_impressive

I have to wait until I get home... upgrade tonight though.. Boy!

I was scheduled to be off 20 minutes ago... but it seems like a lot of people in my organization are affected by the Exchange Online issues happening right now, so I'm going to stick around and see if it gets resolved soon. Mostly I'm just here to catch people reporting the email outage and say "I know but thanks" as I don't really have much I can do to fix it on my end. #JustCloudServiceThings
I'm mostly spending my time wondering when the last time Gmail for Work went down...

Been manually sorting DDoS logs.

What Exchange Online issues are going on? I have not seen any yet.
-
My personal office365 Exchange is down (not my work email).
