Not sure if this should be in this thread, but, fwiw, MSDN have now updated their Windows 10 downloads. The ISO now includes all updates until February. The name has changed from Win10_1511_English_x64.iso, to Win10_1511_1_English_x64.iso - and a wee bit larger.
I understand this will be the version now included in new computers with the installed OEM. Those who bought earlier computers will still, presumably, need to run the update cordon to get to the new one.
