synaesthesia Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Blimey - took roughly 10 minutes on my VM. Long live CD's, eh?
timbo343 Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Ive downloaded the ISOs from here Download Windows Technical Preview ISO - Microsoft Windows Not sure if they are the right versions though. Will soon see. As for the Server OS, will 2012 R2 have updated GPOs or will we all have to start using the new server os for win10? 1
abillybob Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Downloading the ISO now, going to take 4 hours on the schools download speed! Hopefully it's worth it though!
tmcd35 Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) Okay, started from the beginning again, this time it took me through to another part of Technet. Enterprise 64bit iso now downloading without using Akamai, 15% 10minutes remaining.... Here's a link to the enterprise version: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/dn798751.aspx?ocid=wc-mscom-wol You'll need a technet account/MS ID to access it. Edited October 2, 2014 by tmcd35
JRowley Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Downloaded and installed it last night on Hyper-V, went very smoothly! I even gave them some feedback, go me! 1

Norphy Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Downloaded and installed using SCCM 2012 R2. Completely and surprisingly painless, it just worked™. I was expecting to have to find a new version of Windows PE but no... There is also a Windows Server Technical Preview and System Center Technical Preview (no SCCM just yet) on MSDN if you have access to that. 1

It has an interesting sounding new role which im installing for no reason lol network controllers (the network controller provides the point of automation needed for continual configuration, monitoring and diagnosis of virtual networks, physical networks, network services, network topology, address management, etc within a datacaentre stamp) and windows server essentials experience (not typing out too long but seems to be about cloud, backup, remote access) and in features we have canary network diagnostics and ipam which complains its not a dc (give me a mo lol) Edited October 2, 2014 by sted

abillybob Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Play nicely! Oh and WHAAAA! I don't even get 1 MB/s I get double that of dial up speed here... It's ridiculous.
Arthur Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 I wouldn't at all be surprised if a few years later down that route some sort of subscription is needed just to access the store. I really can't see that happening for end users because there isn't any need to do so. Apple already makes plenty of money from iOS developers: a 30% cut of all revenue generated through apps and $99 per to be part of their developer program.
tmcd35 Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 WHAAAA! I don't even get 1 MB/s I get double that of dial up speed here... It's ridiculous. Well you can time my download by my posts - just completed Now need to find a blank DVD
timbo343 Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Just installed the x86 version on i3 with 4gb and its zippy. Installed in 15mins via a USB cd drive and you know what, i like it.
Arthur Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 standard consumer one but it supports domain join That's because it is the Pro edition. id guess at this stage there is no enterprise version and would be wrong lol There is an Enterprise edition. See the download links thread.
LeMarchand Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Currently (slowly) downloading one of the ENT versions. Will need to go back to get t'other and then (from the looks of it) sign out/back in with another ID to get the home version. Planning on VM-ing the ENTx64 and installing the Home version on a laptop at home tonight.
sted Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 That's because it is the Pro edition. There is an Enterprise edition. See the download links thread. I noticed and corrected about <1min after I posted and have it downloading
hardtailstar Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 I'm liking it so far but I think some of the apps like Mail if you're not using a Microsoft account should be able to sign into gmail or any other email account, That would be a winner for me,

sted Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Ill have another go, I was trying local login not microsoft account @sted is that all three accounts at once? in the mail app yes its a bit harder to switch between them than 8.1 (though that may be screen res) but all 3 work 1
robjduk Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 ooh having real issues adapting back to the start menu in server now it just feels wrong im too used to metro Totally agree. I found Windows 8 a breeze to use and feel I am having to take a step backwards to accommodate idiots who cant move forward in life.
Norphy Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Totally agree. I found Windows 8 a breeze to use and feel I am having to take a step backwards to accommodate idiots who cant move forward in life. So turn it back on. It's not rocket science.
