developer preview, lots of sh1t crashing, not working.
First its Technical preview, not even Consumer Preview. So things are expected to crash. But can you share the specifics? I haven't faced any crash till now.
Just some bugs, as highlighted in the video.

^^ Only that first one is the Technical preview, and 2nd one is less buggy version for consumer, where bugs are just patched around so that Consumer won't notice them. 
On a serious note are they two options while we install the OS? I didn't get to choose between them when I installed Win 10 from the setup, from within other Windows OS.

Found this statement on random website?Can anyone justify this?
"New Rumors Claim That Microsoft Skipped ‘Windows 9′ Name Because Of Legacy Code Compatibility Issues. Microsoft surprised everyone by announcing ‘Windows 10′ as their name for the upcoming version of Windows few days back. But why did Microsoft decide to skip the most obvious name ‘Windows 9’? According to latest reports, Microsoft decided to go with Windows 10 branding to avoid issues related to Windows 95/Windows 98 legacy code. Microsoft dev here, the internal rumours are that early testing revealed just how many third party products that had code of the form if(version.StartsWith(“Windows 9″)) { /* 95 and 98 */ } else { and that this was the pragmatic solution to avoid that. If Microsoft named it as Windows 9, all classic apps with the above code structure will treat it as either Windows 95 or Windows 98. So, Microsoft decided to avoid it by naming it Windows 10."

Checkbox on the all folder and icon is awesome addition in Windows 10.
New icons look great.
Modern apps flip animation while opening an app is missing, which i like a lot.
Charms Bar removed
Optional Start screen vs Start Menu available
