I'm thinking noon EST (9am Pacific, standard business time for that time zone). Like you, I was expecting that it would be available from midnight but I guess I was wrong.

When the "book your download" first appeared, I did that and got my confirmation, since then I heard nothing from Microsoft, it hadn't started downloading in the background, but it wanted a reboot after some earlier updates, after that the normal windows update "check for updates" button had become an "Upgrade now" button, so I did ...
