Owning an iMac without a DVD drive what exactly are my options for obtaining any version of Windows short of buying a DVD drive to copy an install DVD to USB for bootcamp?
anyone knows when Windows 10 will be released for mobiles?
This looks amazing but I'm disappointed at the absence of 'Windows 10 devices' launching alongside this release. If anything this seems like a missed sales opportunity for Microsoft/ hardware vendors.
Looking forward to 10, if only to get parents of XP. However the other issue I have with Windows is installation methods. Owning an iMac without a DVD drive what exactly are my options for obtaining any version of Windows short of buying a DVD drive to copy an install DVD to USB for bootcamp?

I've been on the preview since the beginning, when I installed the supposedly "final" build (10240?) about a week ago it ran through a wizard that allowed me to disable this functionality.
Including the per-device unique id for advertisers?

Can you not use VLC or MPC?
You can use VLC. After your comment, I wasn't sure why that was the case. Apparently: > Neither French law nor European conventions recognize software as patentable (see French section below). Therefore, software patents licenses do not apply on VideoLAN software. From http://www.videolan.org/legal.html
Well, there are 2 legal parts that apply here: - DRM - software patents.
Software patents for DVDs are almost all over (it's a 20 year old technology). And in Europe, we don't have valid software patents.
On the DRM part, libdvdcss is not DeCSS, it's either finding the right key or brute-forcing to find the right key. In order to play a DVD, you need to "open" the DRM, else you cannot have playback.
In the case of VLC+libdvdcss-bundle, it's usually fine in (sane) juridictions because it's a player, not violating the copyrights holders. On some other, it's illegal.
Looking at the deprecated features that won't make it to Windows 10 I see: > Solitaire, Minesweeper, and Hearts Games that come pre-installed on Windows 7 will be removed as part of installing the Windows 10 upgrade. Microsoft has released our version of Solitaire and Minesweeper called the “Microsoft Solitaire Collection” and “Microsoft Minesweeper.” Does anyone else find it kind of sad that they killed off the old…
On the other hand, including Minecraft would be a really interesting decision.
Anyone here know much about Windows licensing? This seems like a good opportunity to ask. I never run Windows on bare metal. I only run Windows on virtual machines on my Mac desktop and Mac laptop; only for personal use; and only on the rare occasion when I need to run the odd Windows-only application. I would like to go legit this time around, but it's nigh-impossible to find any specific documentation from Microsof…
That is indeed the case. Otherwise you can buy licenses meant for ISPs and cloud-hosting providers. Your "personal use of multiple VMs" is simply not contemplated. You could probably get by with a MSDN subscription, which gives you some leeway.

The update isn't available for people with group licenses (i.e. schools, large workplaces). So, no.
Not even "personal" MSDN(AA) licenses.

Could anyone explain the downvotes? I have a windows phone and I am really interested in the release of windows 10 for windows phones, especially with the hope of finally having a decent browser on my phone.
