Have you tried the technical preview for Windows 10 yet, or seem some of it in action during a video? What are your thoughts on it? Pros vs cons? Any features you are excited/hopeful for (or quite the opposite)?
I installed and played with it a decent bit yesterday and it seems to work really quite well for my needs. It seems to be much more like Win7 in terms of ease of use or navigation between activities, with some of the better intrinsic uses of Win8. Really enjoying the new start menu, both of the search bars (one is tied to the web by default), as well as the improvements of the window snapping. It's always irritated me I couldn't snap a window to 1/4 of the screen and was instead limited to 1/2. I hope that the windows snapping, as well as the new multi desktop function, has much better multidisplay functionality. I'm tired of having to get the tools for this from third party programs.
It may be the current build, but the windows snapping doesn't seem to be quite as fast or elegant as they were in Win7. I'm going to chalk this up to something that they are ironing out, though, as opposed to any issue with the OS.
If you have any thoughts or feedback on the OS, there is actually a function within the technical preview for you to submit it to the development team. The preview lasts for another 5 months, and Win10 (last I heard) is going to be available near the end of 2015.
Also, if you install this UNFINISHED OS to your main PC and it screws it up with you not having a backup or clue as to how you might fix it, you have only yourself to blame.
