I "reserved" my copy a few weeks ago. How do I un-reserve it and get out of the auto-overnight-update?
You just need to unistall the update that brought the introduction to you. I forget the KB number but if you go into progs and show updates installed you should b able to locate it though a quick google would be simpler. I suspect that there's a M$ FixIt button on their site to do the necessary
 
How long do you have to go back to the previous version? I might try tonight and see how it goes over the weekend. I really dislike Windows 8.1.

30 days and it is just a mouse click or two. Longer than that, still possible, just not as simple.

MSDN Subscription FTW.

Downloading Enterprise edition for a couple of VMs, will install home edition on my daughters' laptops this weekend, if I get a chance.

I found a never opened Windows 95 OS package and license a couple of weeks ago. Cleaning out some drawers in the office.
Hang on to that. It's unbelievable what becomes a collector's item in the future. Still in the shrink-wrap and in a good box, some nerd-turd will pay a couple hundred bucks to have that as cubicle art.

Wish MSDN were in my price range. :( I have SA for a non-profit I support so I'll pull it down for them soon.

I think I might've tossed it, but it could be back in the drawer. Will check Monday.
