Personally this is the first release of Windows I'm not so eager to have installed.

I'll be patient.

Yeah I know that but you could still get screwed over by your isp is my point.

oh you are lucky then, what some big isps do is send customers they receive complaints about notices saying they aren't going to turn over any of your personal information but if they receive any more tells regarding you they will be forced to close your account. I received a notice a few years ago and just make sure I'm more careful where I download stuff from if it is questionable but a couple of my friends have had a couple recent warnings on their accounts for using public torrents.

After the 3 day activation time is over, what happens, just locks you out of customizablilty? Everything else works fine yes?

No, you can't customise the start screen or lock screen wallpaper from the off. There is no grace period.

I don't know what happens after 3 days.

Pirate Bay and other torrents have these so-called leaked copies but don't think for one minute that MS doesn't know this. They will be watching and they will start busting people for illegally obtaining these copies.

Yeah, that's what will happen.............

Actually I agree, and weirdly I am less excited about RTM than the public releases

From what I'm seeing the Pro ISO images still haven't actually been leaked yet?

As far as I can see that's the case, yeah. We all expected a leak from WZOR last night be it didn't come to fruition. He did say they could come eventually though.

[Javik]

Are these images going to be full retail, or are they essentially going to be the same as the images the public would get buying the upgrade?

They are around just not all over the place yet only a selective few have them. They will however be out and all over the place by the end of today.

The Pro versions are gonna need a key to get past install though right ?

If they were around, several places I go to would be buzzing with activity screaming and shouting that WzoR leaked it, and a few would probably put up the magnet links. I might not have access to Soft-Forum but news travels fast.

Not sure, I remember reading that a valid key could be embedded into it, that or a Volume edition would be the leaked one (not retail) hence the same activation/installation process as with the Enterprise version.

[Neobond]

The Pro and enterprise leaks are all Volume editions.

You seem to know more than you should Mr Bond

Yar har fiddle dee dee



The screenshots show about 3 keys being used through some form of tool or something. It's confusing. Anyway, leaking soon.

EDIT: Ah, the 3 keys are WMC Edition, Retail Edition and Volume Edition. The Volume Edition is the last to be shown so I presume that's the one required to proceed with installation.
