    I jumped on it when they first released the developer program (not sure which version?), and had it running as a virtual machine, but gave up on it quickly after. Not for any particular reason either, I just didn't really know what to do with it. Since then I've just been keeping up with the news and reading the change logs every once in awhile.

    My biggest question about it is actually about gaming, and the Xbox tie in. What I don't understand is whether or not you can play Xbox games natively on any Windows 10 computer, or that it's basically Xbox's take on stream-gaming? Kind of like Steam is with their Steam Machines, but in reverse (console -> computer).

    Other things would be more sysadmin related like the Package Manager, or the updated CMD.

    I agree.

    Most of it looks pretty promising. Have you been able to play around with it at all?

    You know, now that you've brought this up to me, it does seem like an RTM release. Especially with the whole NewEgg situation with accidentally posting the OEM release date.

    I've been under the impression that they would roll out the upgrade to the people who have reserved their free copy in groups to sort out any issues that might pop up before releasing it to everyone. Now I see that's basically what an RTM is. So, thanks!

    I still think that it won't be a super long time after the 29th until you get your copy, though. A lot of places are making it out to seem like months.

    Everyone should be able to get Windows 10 on July 29th, both from stores and as an upgrade according to their upgrade site (see step 2. Install) and their FAQ (see when do new devices arrive in stores). It sounds like the people saying that you can't get it then are wrong.

    Unless I'm one of the consumers that don't understand the concept of RTM...
