Microsoft has pulled the new Threshold 2 ISO’s. Ed Bott has the full story.
Note: They have not pulled TH2, just the ISOs. TH2 is still available via Windows Update.
Bottom line there is a bug or bugs in the ISOs. Rather than find it and fix it Microsoft wants you to install the first Win10 build ISO and then download and reinstall another 2-4 gigs of files and update. Is Win10 becoming a tragic comedy?
Where to get TH2 ISOs and ESDs:

Authors note: This story appeared all over the web overnight. As near as I can figure Ed Bott is the original source. “Journalists” often don’t source or barely source their information anymore. Many of them choose to just rewrite the original article without adding anything and post it as their own work. Disgusting.
You stated, “is Win10 becoming a tragic comedy?” I have been wondering that myself. I was an early tester, like so many others, of Windows 10. The last version that I tested, became the released version. It blew me away that with all of the problems and bugs with that version, it was released as is. Since then, it just seems that Microsoft just can’t quite get it’s act together. Microsoft keeps releasing updates of its’ updates. It feels like everything is rushed. I’m beginning to wonder if it’s a lack of technological leadership on the Windows 10 team, or just bad management. I have no confidence that Microsoft will get its’ act together any time soon.
@ srdowns I totally agree. I wasn’t particularly “looking forward” to getting W10, but I was going to “upgrade” with TH2 release.
Now I am having second, third and fourth thoughts. I’m going to stick with what I have for now and the final decision can wait until late June 2016.
