Internet does not break by downloading Windows 10 Final Version
Windows 10 is now available not only for Windows Insider , but for anyone who wants to download it.
The question that everybody asked is : can the Internet manage these simultaneous millions downloads of 3.5 GB ? Until now, the answer is yes, even if Akamai states that Internet traffic is 24% higher than normal .
.
Some people feared that the Internet, or at least Microsofts servers, can crack under pressure.
After all, the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, the release of Apples iOS 8 and the first episode of Game of Thrones all had to deal with too much demand.
And this does not occur with Windows 10. I searched in vain on Reddit , Twitter and other social networks of people with real problems downloading the latest operating system from Microsoft.
I only came across one say, a connection ADSL 4 MB / s, it takes just under two hours to download.
Terry Myerson, executive vice president of Microsoft gave us an important information early July.
He posted on his blog "from July 29, we will begin deploying Windows 10 Windows Insiders members. Then we will notify other systems by waves. "
Of course, the key word is "waves". Microsoft does not let its users simply click to download Windows 10. You must initially book a copy of Windows 10. You may have already done if you have a Windows 7 or 8.x eligible to enter the queue, you need to click on the icon "Download Windows 10" and press the button "Book your free update now".
By clicking this button, you set up your PC to download and install the updates and add your device to the waiting list of Windows 10.
Then its Microsoft not you, decides when you get your update. For example, if you chose to upgrade your computer fixed a week and your laptop one hour later, your laptop could be updated first.
In other words, unlike Apple with iOS 8, ??Microsoft will not let anyone rush on updates and block traffic .
When you download Windows 10, even seconds of delay between traffic bursts does not really matter, but with a live sporting event, the same latency is verry annoying for amator people.
Although Microsoft does not confirm this statement, Dan Rayburn, executive vice president of Streaming Media said the company had earmarked up to 40 TB / s capacity on all CDN providers. Sources from various CDN reported that Microsoft had made "significant investments" bandwidth to July 29 and the following days.
Rayburn also predicted that Windows 10 will create serious havoc in terms of user experience. Expect to see download latencies in days, not hours but it just seems to happen.
Users do not mention until now significant delays downloading.
The sites that monitor Internet traffic, such as Internet Traffic Report and Keynotes Internet Health Report show no problem.
