What Are You Doing Right Now
-
Just had to write this on a thread elsewhere. People get so bent out of shape if you do anything besides just tell them what they want to hear. Why do people go to a forum for guidance if they get all upset if advice is given, or even if probing to get adequate information in order to give advice is asked!
Giving advice without the full context and ignoring what little information was supplied (a P2000 being deemed acceptable gives us a load of information, for example) isn't just not helpful, it is reckless and honestly means that we are being condescending and don't respect the OP. Unfortunately for the OP, his position on only wanting to be told what he wants to hear doesn't mix with a respectful answer. It is an attempt to treat everyone here as a professional worthy of a respectful discourse and providing needed insight, even when it is harsh and not supportive of already made decisions, sometimes people don't like what they hear. But I'll take professionalism, honesty, benefit of the doubt and helping those seeking help over pandering, condescension and just trying to hear ourselves talk and get points any day. Is it the popular path? No. Is it what makes the community valuable? Certainly.

OK that front Paul Thurrott has reported that your machine WILL be upgraded from preview to RTM code and no clean reinstall will be needed.
That is not what I read his clarified statement to be. The way I understand it, you can STAY on Windows 10 TP and continue to receive updates on the TP branch, but for full install I thought it was clarified that it had to be from a legally licensed device. not a TP license.
What if you upgraded to Windows 10 Preview from a licensed full install?
Where is the revised statement?

My laptop is at home, I'll try to remember to look at the new branch I've been moved over to that according to another article I can't currently locate indicated that the RTM would be downloaded to my machine on July 29.

It had something to do with
Insiders appear to now be on branch TH1 instead of fbl_impressive

I have to wait until I get home... upgrade tonight though.. Boy!

I was scheduled to be off 20 minutes ago... but it seems like a lot of people in my organization are affected by the Exchange Online issues happening right now, so I'm going to stick around and see if it gets resolved soon. Mostly I'm just here to catch people reporting the email outage and say "I know but thanks" as I don't really have much I can do to fix it on my end. #JustCloudServiceThings
I'm mostly spending my time wondering when the last time Gmail for Work went down...

Been manually sorting DDoS logs.

What Exchange Online issues are going on? I have not seen any yet.

My personal office365 Exchange is down (not my work email).

Current Status: The investigation determined that a portion of infrastructure which facilitates authentication to the service is experiencing higher-than-normal resource usage. Engineers are analyzing service telemetry to determine what is causing the high resource usage.

Mine appears to be working, if that is of any consolation.

Neither my OWA or Outlook Will work.

So far none of my test emails between Outlook, OWA and my Gmail account have reached each other. I got OWA to open my inbox, but both it and Outlook have failed to actually send any of my test emails.
The weirdest part is that the emails sent to my own Exchange mailbox show up in the Sent Items section but never arrived in my inbox. So people might think they're sending out emails but no one is receiving them? There's also no mailer daemon response on my gmail account to inform me that my message failed to reach its destination. So even though it keeps cycling between "trying to connect", "disconnected" and "Connected" on my Outlook, it's really disconnected the entire time and can't update its inbox, send mail, or anything really.

Welcome to email. This is how email has been since inception many decades ago. It is an async protocol where the sending happens separately from the receiving. Under no conditions does a successful send imply a successful receipt. Email just doesn't work that way.

Fair enough, I just thought it was strange that the emails I sent to my own email address from the Outlook client showed up in my OWA sent box, implying they had been received by the Exchange Online server somehow, but didn't show up in my OWA or Outlook inbox.
Either way, looks like everything's back in business so hooray for that!

Mine's still not up.
