For the rest of us, we're going to have to wait patiently until October 22 before we can get our hands on our end-user copies.

    Why are there separate iso's for Home Prem., Professional, and Ultimate. I was under the impression there would just be one image for x86 and one for x64.

  • Looks like the hash for ultimate x64 is identical to the RTM iso floating around the interwebs since ~July 20. No reason to replace if you already have this.

    I'm downloading it now...fast speeds for me. Using the Akami download manager.

    I wonder why would peeps want to download the Starter Edition??? Embedded devices maybe?

    Both enterprise and Ultimate ISOs downloaded and stored :) Install to begin as soon as possible!

    I do agree - don't get why they made multiple ISOs when all editions have all features, and only thing different are keys. But like I care, if Enterprise will work fine, I'll use that one and nothing else anyway.
