    Initial details, including links, in InfoWorld Tech Watch.

    I’ll have a full roundup in InfoWorld early next week.

    1. There’s an advantage to running the Upgrade Advisor:

      Not only do you get guidance on whether or not it’s a good idea to try the Release Preview on your hardware, but if it looks good to go, you can start a slimmer download (about half the size of the ISO) immediately from the Advisor. Then just tell the installer you want to install onto a different partition or disk, and the USB installer or DVD can be created on your local computer. Same options and versions, just half the download size. Use the link provided for the advisor in the Tech Watch article.

    2. @RC -

      Absolutely correct, on all counts.
