Windows 10 preview coming soon

Everything is "soon" with Microsoft

"at least one more week of testing" != "the next TP build is finished. It will pass testing and it will be made available to Insiders in exactly one week"

He said "one more week of engineering".. Not testing. So TP build is very much in process. After engineering comes internal testing.. That implies the ETA takes a week or 2. And... Who knows, we may receive a blog post this weekend stating reasons for its delay again.

Indeed lol

Apologies for the misquote.
But "at least one more week" still applies.
"at least" meaning a minimum. There shouldn't be any expectation. There's certainly no requirement on them to explain a delay - there's no delay!
And all that's hanging off the Tweet of one man.
Geez, they're dammed if they do and dammed if they don't.

Nonetheless, it's already been two months since their first preview.

Nonetheless, it's already been two months since their first preview.

Repeating this point isn't going to change anything.

Let's recap the facts.

1) We should be grateful that we're getting a preview at all and having the opportunity to shape the future of Windows 10 via feedback.
2) Microsoft made NO promises regarding the frequency of builds. Monthly was an aim, not a commitment. If Microsoft needs more time to add cool stuff, fix issues and test, then that's what has to happen
3) Gabe has been swamped on Twitter from a huge amount of unrealistic demands that he's simply not responding any more. Being hounded like that isn't good for motivation or job satisifaction (I sure wouldn't like it)
4) No one has to have Windows 10 on their phones right now. It's not mission-critical to any users
5) Microsoft doesn't owe us anything

Oh man this update is taking a long time. Woah. LOL

Only 1 hour for me!

I'm at an hour and about 10 minutes and it's importing the data.

Shouldn't be too bad, considering more than half of those steps take a second

It's done. Touch screen seems more responsive. Like the black screen with dots for resuming.

Like the icons in the notification bar too.

Phone seems faster overall.

Just wait till you close an app and check the multitask menu!
