Not to bad got the Windows 10 64-Bit did a install under 10 min on my basic test machine seem like the overall install is a little faster than Win 8.. Hmm I had gotten use to not using the Start button which I really did not use it that much anyway. I think folks will like the new one and looks good as well and has the same feel as previous ones.

Hmm No Charm bar is interesting if your use to using it but I like it how they have the Normal Start Screen now On by default to use instead of looking at the one like what was in Windows 8. But this is something I can see them adding in Windows 8 as well..

Lots of discussions in many forums, some even dedicated to Windows 10.

The good part is that very few real issues are turning up. Most issues are talking about the emphasis on the desktop and the fact that 'modern UI' apps don't run full screen. But that was expected as the early preview version is squarely aimed at showing how good it can be on the desktop vice tablet.

Supposedly the 'modern UI' stuff will show up in further releases.
