Hi there
Thanks

Can't wait.

BTW any implementation of INTEL's Wireless display -- I know it's hardware but will W10 support it. I'd love to use a wireless connection to an external monitor -- get rid of HDMI cables. Audio shouldn't be a problem - even FLAC uses minimal bandwidth compared to video.

Cheers

Remember the error messsage "Something happened " ?
Now it's "We're not sure..."

So true! I just can't wait to see what MS has for us to test and go from there.

That's the problem with stupid code names.
How do you top "Awesome"?

"Heaps Mega-Awesome"?
