What a combination of contradictions!
So there will be some computer producers ready with the OEMs. Sure, loaded from ISOs of course. This does not conform with the upgrade plan, which still remains unsettled.

I have only Dells. Several of them. At this stage, whilst they run fine with fresh installs, there are still no drivers specifically written for Windows 10. With less than two weeks to go, and the RTMs not yet out, the manufacturers best bet, in my case Dell, is to simply rebadge the hardware drivers.

But, in spite of my comments, Dell themselves have published that they will be shipping some of their range, with the Windows 10 OEM on board, on the 29th.

If you have a digital battery watch, Ralph, take it easy. It might run out of power!

Nah I have my cell phone to do that with I even got a nway stopwatch feature with the app that came preinstalled on it, my battery on my cell phone can last at least 6 hours plus I can always leave it attached to my USB cable :-)
