Its posted on the first page in comments and all that.

ok so from my understanding the ESD version is to do an upgrade from like windows 7 to windows 8 and only do that . cause if that is correct then all use the ESD

There is also a C2R-based upgrader (those of you that participated in the earlier InstallFair - this is what we were testing) that can be used for upgrades (including from the WDP, which I am doing as I type this).

So there's three ways - ISO (all clean installs), ESD (upgrade installs from Windows 7) and C2R (upgrade installs from Windows 7 and the WDP).

O god. What did I do..lol

Upgrading didn't go very well it seems. Ended up with a weird two desktop version, broken HTMl5 apps and BSOD's :) So I'm going clean..

Edit: Downloads are getting very slow for me. Normally I get like 5-6MB per second. Now it's like 700kb/sec.

Hopefully It will not BSOD before the download is finished :)

Edit 2: They keep falling back. Now it's like 400kb/sec..

Hopefully someone post the X64 ISO on Usenet as soon as possible.

You use Internet Explorer Manager to do a download? You gotta be ****ting me. Go install Internet Download Manager and make 16 connections with it.

Use the 32-bit version, I'm typing from VMWare 8 right now.

Im installing the 32bit version into vmware now. did a Sha1 hast check on the x64 and it was fine, so must be a problem with VMware and the x64 version

O god. What did I do..lol

It automatically upgrades if you use the Autorun, you need to go and install via the Setup.exe on the .iso, unless something has changed, then choose the Custom Install option.

Woudln't go any faster, i'm on a 30Mbps line so 3-4MB is my fastest. Those things are so outdated since the days of IE6. When servers and connections were slow then yeah sure it made sense but Microsoft will full my pipes with anything used to download.

But...but...but MORE connections has to be better !!! :rofl:

Firing it up now in VMware. Hopefully they've improved my gripes with the Metro interface on desktops and laptops.

It feels the exact same as the dev preview to me. Although I dislike it even more because there is no start menu in this one. Unless an option to enable it becomes available, that alone is going to make up my mind to stay with Windows 7 (mind you the god awful start page is a reason in itself).

None of the apps on the start page will even launch, they all crash when I click them, and what apps do work take me into the desktop mode. Granted, I prefer the desktop over the start screen, but it still feels very broken.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • BATorrent 3.0.3 is out.
    • The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with ad blockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Samsung Browser'. It has very little bloat and is a nice-looking web browser with an inbuilt 'Ad blocker'. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. This browser can also install Chrome extensions. I have a system wide Ad blocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the web browser, but over the whole system. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt ad blocker because of that.
