Alright, so I tried Win 10. Also created a screencast summing up my experience:

While Start Menu is the highlight of Windows 10, I think Microsoft is still trying too hard to make a unified User Interface and people who are used to windows XP and Win 7, even this version of Windows will be a steep learning curve.

^ Awesome bro, I thought of writing a long post of what's new in Windows 10 but you summed it up great

Edit: I need a bigger monitor

Windows 10 Technical Preview

Installed it just now & first impressions are that I'm just loving it my good ol Start Menu is back!!! This edition of Windows looks positive.
Also it installed in just 10-15 mins, taking up 14 GB space. I did a mistake by giving it just 50 GB but hey this is a test version.

Once again they stapled Metro UI on top of dektop based UI. I seriously doubt if UX is improved or just as sucky as it was in 8/8.1

Guys:
Does W10 recognise the existence of operating systems other than Windows? Is it possible to install this to a logical partition?

How many partitions are created during install?

How much is the space taken up for OS itself?

 

[tanmaymohan]

The user settings menu should be normal and not metro. Needs improvement. Keep sending feedback


Also The installation menu should be made modern too imo.

Yes. It does recognise other partitions. I installed it like any other OS. The GRUB bootloader will get replaced by windows bootloader though. But you can always restore it. Personally I use EasyBCD to restore my bootloader.

For me I couldn't install Win 10 via a bootable USB. You can't install it on logical drive I guess using a bootable USB. But when I tried installing from within existing Windows OS, I could choose the drive and installation went successfully even on a logical drive.

Complete installation is consuming around 16 GB. So a partition with 30 GB of space is recommended for smooth installation and experimentation.

Btw, the new icons looks good:

Also, is it just me or you can't resize the Tile apps vertically?

 

[rish1]

Still I don't get why they skipped 9 and named it 10? o_0
Just like this, instead of naming xbox 720....they named xbox one

don't know if you got the answer or not but it is to signify that now there will be 1 windows across pc,tablet,phone and will adapt itself automatically depending on screen size.. there will be 1 single store as well ..its to highlight the unification of single OS and they will be dropping the word phone from " windows phone " as well...

hence a skip in number to mark a new beginning for 1 OS across all devices and not just limited to PC

plus maybe to signify a new CEO, a new company , a new direction as well..

Re: Windows 10 Technical Preview

technically, they mostly fixed what they messed up in 8. now they want us to pay again to get this thing ?

wow, amazing business technique.

Can this be used as a daily driver? Or should I wait? When's the official release?

Not recommended, consumer preview coming in January 2015. And stable version in "later in 2015" must be Q4 2015

Vertical resize is not possible, 3 small, medium, large resizes horizontally

@amjath, can I use the Windows 8/8.1 driver(64-bit) for my Zotac NVidia 620GT GPU(Am satisfied with it, I AM NOT A GAMER!!!),for this Win 10 Technical Preview? Because my Monitor has a res. of 1600x900 and the Win 10 Tech. Preview, is at 1280x800.

I don't have GPU myself. From what I read drivers are stable in this preview. If you come across any issues with drivers after installation then reinstall. Surely it will work.
