Windows 10 Technical Preview - Insider Program

[Seriously]

Yes, as above, Windows 10 is snappy and fast. Performing better than Windows 7 and 8. The new features and changes this far simply makes it a better operating system!

Agree on all house accounts!

 

[Seriously]

Because people finally realised it is just Windows 8 with a Start Menu

Nope, you missed the [-]pot[/-]plot.

 

[AfricanTech]

Nope. Win7 feels way snappier.

That's quite unusual in my experience

What hardware were you running it on?

Not unusual.

I'm getting a higher graphics score with Windows 7 than 8, and it does feel snappier.

What Hardware?

I had one machine that had to be left on seven cos the video card refused to play nicely with 8

Graphics score on what?

CPU ID won't work no matter what I try.

Despite this:

CPU-Z 1.71 has been released. That version adds the support of Windows 10, amongst other news.

I currently have Windows 10 and Ubuntu dual booted.

Use the Windows 10 side for Gaming and MSOffice.

I also tried their normal version, which would not install.

I then downloaded the customized version for my Gigabyte MB.



...and that worked:

What hardware were you running it on?

Quad core cpu, 4gb ram, nvdia gpu. The hardware should not come into play here as it's more than sufficient.

I'm not the only I've heard saying this and there's nothing wrong with the 8 install, it's just not as snappy as 7 and I'm the type of person that disables all effects.

 

[AfricanTech]

Ah, I see.

Well, as always, use what works for you

Are they going to integrate Cortana into Windows 10, on all platforms (Desktop, Laptop, Tablet, Phone, etc).

Yes

For a preview the OS is quite stable, got it running in a Dell 1555 Studio laptop with an old Dual Core CPU.

I'm busy installing Steam now, going to see how it handles older games like Bioshock. Apart from the Start Menu and the virtual Desktops, the overall performance improvements is quite noticeable, as well as the tweaks to the UI animations.

It's going to be a good one that will have all those ladies blouses (complainers/haters of Win 8/8.1) be a little happier.

I had a problem with games running on my laptop. I did a reinstall of the games (EA Origin) and they ran fine after that.

I would love to see Cortana on Windows 10 Technical Preview

Do you think it makes any sense to run a tablet OS on a desktop or notebook computer?

What's a tablet OS?

It's not quite a tablet OS though, it has the makings of it, granted. Today was the first time this week that I opened the Start screen to launch an app which I hardly ever use. Other than that and from the first day that I've set up my PC, I've had a traditional Windows Desktop experience. Plus, I don't find the Start screen much of an annoyance, Mandriva has something similar.

An OS that you run on a tablet?

Did you leave your brain at the party last night?
