That's understandable cat. Good question. It may be a change for the better.
I will agree it is unprecidented however it can be a good change. :fing02:
I think it is lame , we must not be kissing enough ass to deserve the leak ? Maybe they are awaiting permission from god to release this heavenly build ;)
Lame? In my eyes, it's awesome. We've already got a good idea of what the pros and cons are to the leak, and can decide whether we even want to waste time installing it. The folks who already have it are like the guinea pigs and are doing us a favor in a way by pre-testing it for us, and saving us an hour or two of our Saturday if there are any showstopper bugs.Quote:

So, .191 is all loaded, and out the door you go. You get there, try to snap a pic, and *BAM* - reboot time (well at least you get to look at the new loading screen again)
Had the leak been released in the fashion this one is being released, you wouldn't have wasted part of the morning loading it to begin with.
Having these "pre-leak" threads full of folks actually using the OS is doing us a favor, it gives us the same functionality as a "known issues" list.
Isn't that part of the fun with leaks though? going through the trials & tribulations trying to figure out what changed, what works and of course what doesn't.... :haha:Quote:

The reason for the prealert is that JL's full time job is a keyboard tech. He's looking to sell some more F5 keys this quarter. :lmao:
It's not lame...It builds excitement and plus there is a process too which can take a while....Rewards are great!!! :)Quote:

But the con to it is, normally i'd just go to work and come back home later like, "oh wow, a leak that's cool". Now how am i just supposed to turn off the computer and go to work now that I know one of the best storm leaks of all time is about to be posted....I'm gonna be late!!!:laugh2:
I feel your pain ... I am already at work (couldn't wait anylonger) and now have to watch as this OS drops and see everyone's excitement... Oh well guess the hysteria will have died down by then ... come on 5pm... :17:Quote:

Just my 2 cents enjoy the game :-)
