Important notes regarding this version
This has been a very aggressive CE cycle. And with that, there was a sgnificatnly increased level of risk involved with previous versions. While the risk has been greatly minimized at this point, there still is a small risk.

There is LITTLE risk that your box will become a brick... and if you are having too many issues, role back to the national release version.

So please you must absolutely understand these risks, before forcing this download
