i don't see any Dell number, I wonder why, maybe because their computer fail big time 1 days after the warranty is over.

they've also some how managed to remove 400GB from the install ISO, as compared to previous versions. I guess they continue to remove applications and features, forcing people to download appx crap from the Store instead.
the delta is 340MB not 400GB

RIM (or Blackberry as they're known by now) rested on its laurels for far too long and let Android and iOS take over. I'm surprised they haven't just put the company up for sale and crossed their fingers someone would foolishly put in an offer.

Are you doing network images for the BDS install? My Precisions can usually get through the install from a network image in about an hour. The USB media is dog slow for some reason. I tried building a network image off the USB stick - it was faster for me to copy the BDS installer off the stick to local disk and build a base image than it was to run the image builder from the stick.
We tried that too, AC - Installing from our 1Gb backbone network was bad - and copying the image locally seemed to take anywhere from 30-45 minutes plus the painful install time.
Still fighting with that install I started, what, 6 hours ago. It's made it through Showcase, almost.
I wonder if we do business
Another gripe - must remember to strip off all your ANY runtimes if you need to install an older version, for the older versions (say if you have a project that requires say 2012) nothing like getting almost to the end and it starts its rollback and peering through the installer logs to find out that you have VC 2010 SP1 installed and it won't even talk to it - it wants unpatched VC 2010 to install
THIS IS WHERE YOU FAIL, BASS!
