So it seems this is what Win 8 was meant to be. Could be the time to jump from 7 :)

On top of that what ever they've done under the hood, will do under the hood and features that will be put in there.

People seem to forget this is a technical preview. It's earlier in development, than we've ever seen before.

This is untrue. I have used both very early builds of Windows 7 and Windows 8. Builds much earlier in development than this Windows 10 technical preview.

What, builds that MS officially published? Or ones that merely leaked? Because I can remember Vista builds flying all over the internet when it was still called Longhorn (i.e early enough in the development cycle to be 'XP in a party frock'), but they sure as hell weren't offered to the public by Microsoft.

If transparent window borders are a make-or-break deal for your choice of computer operating system, you're doing it wrong.

Na, I was just wondering. But just thinking about it I might not upgrade until I build a new pc for myself, as I have got everything running well on win7, with current pc.

They were leaked builds, yeah. But it's still a case of there being earlier builds around if you wish to acquire and use them. It was never ever difficult to get your hands on them.
 
If they are skipping 9, which was due to be good by the MS OS way of doing things, then 10 should suck right lol

I like the new start bar, good mix of old and new, yeah it looks a lot like 8 but then again 8 desktop looks a lot like 7 with a different theme, desktops can only have so much look about them, bound to look the same, its the under the hood that matters...
 
First Look: Windows 10 (Technical Preview) review

I’ve never really got on with Windows 8. It’s not that I don’t like change: on the contrary, I love playing with new gadgets and trying out new features. Unfortunately the changes in Windows 8 made my desktop computing experience worse overall, not better. Frankly I’m not sure the OS worked particularly well on tablets either.

So when the Windows 10 Technical Preview appeared on Wednesday I was eager indeed to take it for a spin – and the experience has been a very pleasant surprise.
