Awesome
Not awesome
Meh, might DL it closer to the end of the month so if we get throttled, we won't have to wait long to have the bandwidth cap reset.

Anyone you know nearby that has more bandwidth who can DL it for you?
Anyway if you have to wait until the end of the month, you might as well pull down the RTM on the 29th

Yeah if you're signed up as an insider, otherwise on torrents. MS ISO links usually work for everyone and they'll be posted all over the web.

Why on Earth would you trust torrents as your ISO source when it's as simple as one registration form to get the ISO straight from the source? How many people downloading from torrents actually checked that the checksum matched?

The most dangerous torrent file is the one containing the operating system itself - malware could be already built into it when you install it!
If there is one thing that you should not install from an untrusted source - it's the OS!
And yes, I second the above suggestion: Absolutely wait until RTM comes out for any sort of non-testing main rig use.

Actually even the check sums can be faked to match. I always use the check sums, but I put them in a VM. Torrents are OK if you are aware of the risks and take some precautions, but the MS download is the best bet if you can be patient.

Updates to Entertainment in Windows 10
Updated July 6, 2015 12:17 pm - Windows 10 was built to offer a familiar and secure experience, with unmatched productivity offerings and more entertainment options for Windows fans. Not only will you be able to enjoy great gaming on Windows 10 – including the new Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition beta announced this weekend – but also great first party apps that come with refreshed designs, and that are free and installed on Windows 10 devices.
And today, I’m excited to share how things are shaping up for entertainment in Windows 10, based on the great feedback we’ve received from our passionate Windows Insiders community.
What’s new with entertainment on Windows 10?
Let’s start with Music. Our fans asked for faster ways to access the music they love – quickly, efficiently, and on their favorite devices. And for that, we’re proud to introduce the evolution of our current Xbox Music experience, now titled Groove, with new features we think you’re going to love. Groove describes what people feel and do with music, and is more intuitive for our Windows 10 customers on what they’ll find with the app.
And along with Groove, you’ll also find Xbox Video has also been renamed to Movies & TV, making the content in the app more identifiable for our broad customer base.
For both of these apps, you’ll see the changes come through first on Windows 10 PC’s before rolling out to other devices in the coming months.
We’ve kept a keen eye on our existing entertainment fans to make sure the experiences which they enjoy and subscribe to today, will continue without any interruptions. Here’s a quick overview of the new features you’ll find with both apps in the build coming to Windows Insiders this week.
Groove
Welcome Screen for the Groove app for Windows 10
The Look and Feel: Groove provides an improved experience for listening to and managing your music in Windows 10. Getting into music is faster than ever with easy-to-use menus and navigation controls that work well with both mouse/keyboard, and with familiar touch gestures on touch-screen devices. Pinch to zoom in or out of different views, drag your favorite tracks in to playlists, hover over the Taskbar icon for playback controls, or right click for contextual menus to pin an album to your Start menu. And you can also infuse your personality in to Groove – choose a light or dark theme for the app depending on your mood, or pick an accent color in Windows Settings and the Groove app makes it shine.
Accessing Your Music on your favorite devices: We’re also making it easy to access your content across your favorite devices – with built-in OneDrive integration making your favorite songs only a few clicks away. Upload all your MP3’s to OneDrive, even songs purchased from iTunes, and access them all for free with the Groove app on your Windows devices, Xbox, the web — and even on your Android phones and iPhones (coming soon).
Music and the Windows Store: You can also sign up for a Groove Music Pass subscription – a premium ad-free listening experience with no interruptions. $9.99/month or $99/year gets you complete access to stream and download music from the Windows Store — one of the largest music catalogs on the planet with over 40 million tracks*. Subscribers can also create custom radio stations based on their favorite songs, albums and artists. If you already have an Xbox Music Pass (like me) – don’t worry! This will become Groove Music Pass and you don’t need to do anything.
Check out this information page for more on Groove.
Movies & TV
Movies collections view in the Movies & TV app for Windows 10
Enjoying Videos in Windows 10: You will find the Movies & TV app in Windows 10 better than ever for playing all your personal videos, as well as all the movies and TV shows you love. Import your personal video collection, and play back your content in a fast and elegantly designed app that is optimized for both mouse/keyboard as well as touch. Drag and drop videos between your collections, use right clicks and hot keys for contextual menus, or go full-screen with easy to use playback controls. We’ve also added additional file format support like .MKV too.
The Windows Store: Movies & TV has direct integration with the Windows Store, where you can buy or rent from all the latest movies and TV shows in HD, as well as thousands of other favorites. Weekly new releases, access to TV shows a day after air, deals and discounts, and personalized recommendations just for you. And on Windows 10 devices, Xbox and the web, the Movies & TV app lets you start watching purchased or rented content on one device, and pick up where you left off on another device.
The Feedback Engine
We’re excited to share this first look at the entertainment experiences with Windows 10, and we hope you like where we’re headed.
We’re proud to be building products that light up the fun side of Windows, and it’s been great to see how the feedback from our Windows Insiders has shaped these apps into what they are today.
Windows Insiders who are a part of the Fast ring and upgrade to the next PC build will see these updates in the Store beta first. For anyone else, you’ll get to enjoy these updates with Windows 10 starting on July 29th.
Please keep sharing your feedback with us in the Windows Insider forums and head on over here to sign up for the program if you’re eager to jump in to Windows 10.
*Groove Music Pass sold separately and in selected markets. Catalog size and availability varies by market and over time.

Yeah. No. I'll keep 7 and my TV tuner. I'll use my Insider copy of Win 10 for the rig I'm building with my daughter (we're planning case mods at this stage , and teaching her how to mod a card reader from Dell proprietary to internal USB). She (we) will be learning Linux in a dual boot system to prepare for the day when M$ is just too much B$ to bear anymore.Well now you get to pay them for streaming content instead

Uh ya I am opted in Big guy. And reported the issue.
Thanks for.sharing your opinion of my and what you think. However I wasnt talking **** about the os, just simply sharing one little complication that just hasnt been fixed yet. It is not concerning to me at all, ive had my run around with all operating systems from ms even after full build release.
But lets face the real.truth of.facts.... Its not going to be perfect even after release time. I expect many updates after release just as any operating system is from ms.
Have a good day.

Let me.add.that I do enjoy the look of the new splash screen during post up. Very eye catching

You have a good day as well.

For anyone looking for ISO: Windows 10 Pro x64 Build 10166

I'm wondering if I commit win 10 to my 2nd partition on my SSD, will it sneak a read of my win 7 COA and snag it? I'll install it as a fresh install on my insider account. The only way to fully test this OS is on bare metal, not just a VM.
BTW it looks like that ISO link has already been worn out
