64bit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=510225 or 64bit
32bit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=510226 or 32bit

Pasting the URLs in a download manager renders the direct links, well, should.

As in, separate desktop for separate screen spaces? That would be no mean feat to get that feature working properly.

Thanks, not to worry. As per usual MyDigitalLife delivers. Downloading the UK iso image, I'm assuming I can change the keymap to US? I hate yankee spelling.

No, that's still reserved to linux.

I downloaded the UK version. UK is the language, US is the keyboard layout.

Not sure what you mean by this...

 

[faniebraai]

wait, do you mean that you want each screen as a seperate desktop? why would you want this?

currently the extended screen (screen 1 and 2) together makes 1 desktop. desktop 2, will also include screen 1 and 2.

I have it installed installed now. Multi monitors. When you go into the 'multi desktop mode' to select which space you wish to switch to, it displays on each screen the mini desktops available with previous. (hope that makes sense) if not, i'll try a screenshot if you ask nicely

I'm sure this explains it well. This is only 2 desktops.

Yes that also works thanks but why use the US image when WindowsTechnicalPreview-x64-EN-GB.iso is available?

I actually downloaded UK, but gave you US links , prolly they were first on the list.

It's not a bad thing to have if you've experienced/used unix/linux before. Both screens can be totally independent from each other as well as the processes displayed on them. You could even export a screen to another pc on the other side of the world without rdp or anything like that.

No worries, got the 64-bit UK one coming down now.

Is it faster than win7 because i find win8 slower than 7.

export a screen... not that's an interesting concept.

but for everyday usability across two screens, I don't think I would like for them to be seperate desktops. i think I just don't see the benefit that would give me.

Back in the early 90's I used a cad application running on unix box in pretoria via exported display sitting in durban. On occasion i export my laptop's display to my desktop. If you have never experienced it you might not understand the benefits.

Yeap I have been enjoying my usage of the demo so far, it definitely feels ALOT faster than Windows 7. My D-Link 3G Modem works well with Windows 10 so far, no crashing or anything like that.

I hope Nvidia will come with a beta Windows 10 compatible graphics driver....I am not sure when Intel will bake a Windows 10 version.

Can you have the start screen AND the start menu?? I see you can only pick one of these....would love to have both active.
