Yep. I have the preview installed and bar a few betaish bugs its looking excellent
Why would you not want something that is less RAM intensive, generally faster, has more features and is easier to use?Aurani wrote:

Win 8 with forced metro, sure its not so great, however 8.1 with classic shell is better than 7 in every way
cant wait for none of my hardware to be compatible with this new overglossed piece of microshit garbage, and having to run everything in compatibility mode
Enjoy your free year.
I'd rather not
There might be a fuckton of compatibility issues so I'll just have to wait for several months

Already installed the preview on a VM and it seems very promising if Microsoft listens to the community feedback from the Windows Inside Program
There is no way around it anyways because it's a neccessity for DirectX 12

Windows 10 is just Microsoft spending more time on making an inferior product.
what a fantastic upgrade plan
it's a shame nobody actually owns win7 or 8

You have the opportunity to get it free for life, if you upgrade within a year.jaaakb wrote:

There's no 10.1 right now, but 10 is a mix of 8.1 and 7.BackOffMe50ft wrote:

Unless you've been slumming it with XP and ancient components, pretty much everything will either be compatible or will otherwise have compatible drivers available for download.Riince wrote:

I'm running the preview as a dualboot and it's slowly looking nicer--other than the icons.
Thankfully, they'll likely be changed in later releases. The things I'm enjoying the most are the proper tiling and the slicker UI. I'd add the start menu to that, but it sort of took a step backwards while Microsoft finalise its Continuum functionality. As a whole, it looks like the whole OS is going to look a lot more sexy and current by release, or at least better at all. It's supposed to release during June, so here's hoping that progress is rapid from build to build.
A new build is most likely going to be released later this week, could even be today if we're lucky
I actually think the folder icons are one of the better ones, the trash bin and drive icons that were leaked some time ago look far worse in comparsion.. ugh.
I hope they're going to unify the new context menus, title bar, etc. with the next build and also bring back some of the functionality of the start menu
While we're at it, can't we make this a "let's talk Windows 10 TP" thread" for the few people that actually do support what Microsoft is doing?

I can say that I definitely like the general concept of the icons. However, they're a) a touch garish for me and b) too childish for me a the moment. I really liked the initial icons, so I'm hoping against hope that there's a comprehensive pack of them in the final version.BrokenArrow wrote:

The next build doesn't appear to be changing much, but if it's got the new Start codebase and general polish, then I'll be quite happy.
We should make this a thread for general chatter though--even though I made one a while ago, this one seems to be getting some buzz. It'd be great for linking articles and such.

Even then, unless literally everything you run is stuck in 2003, you'd be unlikely to have compatibility issues and you wouldn't be running on an OS with hacked-together security fixes. 7's generally solid enough, but 10's gonna be mega-efficient. 8 already was and users have already said that 10's got performance improvements out the wazoo.Riince wrote:

I think the real question here is, where did the search bar in the start menu go ?
