Microsoft confirms 'waves' roll-out of Windows 10

From ComputerWorld: Microsoft today confirmed that it would roll out the free upgrades to Windows 10 later this month in several "waves," with beta testers getting first dibs on the OS.

Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows 10 Education, editions available only to volume licensing customers, will be ready to download on Aug. 1, three days after Microsoft releases Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Pro.

"Starting on July 29, we will start rolling out Windows 10 to our Windows Insiders," wrote Terry Myerson, the top operating system and devices executive at Microsoft, on a company blog today. "From there, we will start notifying reserved systems in waves, slowly scaling up after July 29."

Windows Insider is the firm's name for the preview program that debuted on Oct. 1, 2014. Insider will continue after the launch of Windows 10 for those who want to live on the bleeding edge of change.
