So.. install is done.. it looks like the dev previews, currently installing all the windows updates.


Have a great feeling the is a huge hoax.. lol thanks firey for being the tester

lol reminds me of the old Pokemon hoax people would put out in the internet.. go here and go back and fourth for 2 hours and you'll find a hidden Pokemon.. lol

also, why would they make you install a old copy and use windows update to upgrade to a newer build? Unless they are changing the way betas are being done which is possible.. this could be some build from an internal tester that has a special switch somewhere turned on..


Again, this all seems highly unlikely..

EDIT: Someone on another forum says this works. Could be troll.

If the nfo is true why cant someone running the dev build just run windows update and have RC. Why would you have to download a pirated version of the dev copy to do it?

I'm not sure why, but it's really not playing well with VirtualBox, I have a hell of a time getting it to boot, and then times where it will boot, but stop doing anything as it is loading.

Well, as far as I can tell..I am still in the dev preview, it's still same build and is M3, the only change is the build date string. The build string says 110912. I have 3 updates for defender that refuse to work, says they are installed, but they never go away.
