Important notes regarding this version
This is a very aggressive CE cycle.
And with that, there is a SIGNIFICANTLY increased level of risk involved with this version.
There is LITTLE risk that your box will become a brick... and if you are having to many issues, role back to the national release version.
So please... you must absolutely understand these risks, before forcing this download
