Clicking the install technical preview loads an error page.
Available 5PM UK time. I'm sure the error will go away then
Yeah, the Vista release had basically all the same problems as the XP and 95 releases just that by Vista's time the average intelligence of a PC user had dropped so dramatically that the was a lot more whining (not that the wasn't a lot of whining from people trying to run XP on the minimum recommended 233MHz CPU and 64mb RAM
).Vista was fine if you had a decent PC, I grabbed it on I think a Q6600 with 4GB of ram. Was decent enough, an improvement over XP.
64bit drivers were a bit wonky at first at least for the less obvious kit, printers, keyboards, webcams all those other little things.

That start menu is waaaaaay too small, hopefully somebody will make a hack to get it full screen again for those of us not still using 1024x768 displays
Hopefully the Technical Preview will allow us to use DPI scaling to make start menu bigger.
Comparing launch requirements/scenarios of 10 to previous versions is discussing 10, lol >.>
There was quite a bit of difference between XP MCE and W7MC, both in presentation and features; e.g. support for HD recordings.
However there was no significant changes in W8MC. In fact it is a retrograde step as it reduces the extenders you can use to just the Xbox.
We do need a new version of Media Center with support for HEVC encoding which the BBC are using for 4K broadcasts.

I wonder if it will work in vmware workstation 10. I remember when 8 came out it didn't work initially in workstation.
Is anyone (apart from Glaucus) going to put it straight on to their main ssd?
I guess for those with windows 8, they can just upgrade?

Fairly sure I saw a video of it being resized by click+drag the top edge, but can't find it now.
Edit: Download page is up now, 4.08GB for 64bit.
Go to insider.windows.com to register and then links on the next page.
