I installed the preview on a virtual machine with 512 MEGABYTES of ram and it works...very slowly though...
and yet it runs as slow as my windows 7 laptop which had 1.5GB of usable ram
I oughta lower the ram to...oh idk 256 megabytes...

Clueless. You just wouldn't like being called "uneducated". I could say something about you liking Megaman but even I'm not that harsh.
What does Megaman have to do with ANYTHING? I mean, let's stay on topic here. BTW, I do not even think that is much of an insult, or compliment, it is meaningless. I am very educated and "aware", and know the competition of Microsoft. Mac just won't cut it for me, to many programs are only coded for Windows. And the other ones are hardly a thing. I get where you are coming from, but look at the poll results.
Sure, Windows 8 was bad and difficult getting used to. But 7 surpasses the quality of all others, at least in my opinion. I am not asking you to agree, just do not go around "indirectly" accusing me of being a linear fool unless you can tell me what makes other companies better. Just state your opinion I guess.

THIS is something a microsoft employee said to why microsoft skipped windows 9 (as a joke in a way)

Hmm, I always thought that they skipped 9 because they were afraid that 7 8 9.

Educated people using computers don't use Windows.
This statement is incorrect.
You're right. It is HIGHLY incorrect. And all of the computers are far from the same.

Do you need any special requriements to sign up 4 the preview?

A Microsoft account that says you are over 18, had to create new one, I am only 15. So if your account says you are under 18, make a new one that says you are 18 or over!
Plus the system requirements are the same as Windows 8

Why not just stick to Windows 8 ?

I'm typing this in a Windows 10 Tech Preview virtual machine currently. Specs of it: 64GB virtual HDD, 3000MB (2.93GB) of RAM, and i'm tempted to add a virtual floppy drive too.
Need to get java on it though (and flash, firefox is nagging at me to install flash)

To all the ones who say that microsoft has forgotten how to count:
Was there a Windows 5 or a Windows 6 ? No? How's that possible?

Count numerically for each home-user designed OS. XP - 5, Vista - 6, 7 is ovbiously....7, 8...same thing.
As for 9, "Development testing was so well that we decided to just rename it to 10" was the official quote.

Already signed up and downloaded in a Virtual Box. Huge improvement from Windows 8 that's for sure.
1
8 isn't very great in my opinion. Windows Vista was really bad, then Windows 7 came out and it was awesome, Windows 8 came out and it's bad, when Windows "10" comes out it better be good! lol
1
8 is a bit worse than 7, but they said they would fix the issues of 8 in 9. 9 failed in development. So 10 would be a completely new thing. Or so I have been told...
1
A lot of people (including me) like Windows 7 the best. I personally don`t like the Windows 8 style. 7 is my favorite, and I don`t really care if they release new Windows or not.

Oh, Microsoft, you're the stupidest company ever.

Why is Microsoft "the stupidest company ever"? Tell us. Share the reasons for your opinion.

What exactly is this?
Anyways, the only thing they keep you in the dark about are windows updates. By the way, that is very annoying but still bearable, as windows is pretty good.
The only real issue I have about Windows is the auto-shutdown update feature which very discretely warns you and you sometimes deletes all of your work.

thanks goodness they're bringing back the start menu! hope that this version of windows is free

After Windows 8, I decided that I hate Windows. When they announced Windows 10, I'm like "ABANDON SHIP!". I am now a Mac person.
1
When you've used Windows, you've used them all. They just have different eye candy. Same task bars, same bloat (since NT went to consumers anyways), same lack of security that the rest of the industry had for years, or half done to make people feel secure (looking at you NTFS).The backend is really the only thing that changes. It's all a scam to make gamers pay for better hardware making them think they are getting a "faster" computer. After 2000 computers started going a little bit faster, in the late 90's everyone was excited about Ghz processors now companies bank on the term for marketing. And that's just the TIP of the iceberg.

You are beyond ignorant, I don't even want to spend time correcting you.
1
You're an idiot. One minute you disagree with me and then you're on my good side. You flip around more than a diseased frog.
1
I'm an idiot because you're wrong? Seems legit. And just because I like someone, doesn't mean I won't tell them they are wrong? Ignorance. Just plain ignorance.
1
This is plain ignorance, just because he switched to the side he agrees with doesn't make him an idiot, and why does not educated people use windows? What do they use, Mac?
Obviously we know Linux is the best operating system, doesn't have many games though. But i am serious, the most educated buy windows because it has a much higher worth than any other OS aside from Linux.

I voted "don't care" because I'm starting to lean more towards Linux-based OSes. I don't really have a fancy for Windows anymore. Sure, compatibility, but, will I even need such compatibility after a while? I'm starting to stray away from the life of a gamer, and a KDE-built Debian install wets my mouth more than Microsoft coming up with something innovative again.

JohnanaterWindows seems to have a pattern on good and bad, For example Windows XP = Awesome, Windows Vista = Bad , Windows 7 = Awesome, Windows 8 = (I think bad because I'm forever a Windows XP & 7 Do everything yourself kinda guy
I hope this will be good.EnderPixelI think they said they skipped the number 9 because they have a history of going a good OS to a bad OS to a good Os and etc.
But did you know, that when XP was first released, no one really liked it, there were a lot of issues, not until after they released the Service Packs, more and more people liked windows XP.

Hopefully windows 10 makes up for the problems that windows 8.1 had, I couldn't use my headset after the update cause it wasn't compatible. Don't stuff up microsoft!

It looks pretty nice yet I also don't like it in some ways. For example it seems too cluttered, there are way too many things on the task bar that they should have just by default put in the start menu. I also don't like the fact that the tiles are now on the start menu, it looked much nicer on Windows 8. Plus their feature that allows multiple desktops is just a blatant copy of the same feature Macs have had for years.
1
The taskbar was cluttered because he probably pined the Office icons and some apps to it, In windows 8 you had, Internet Explorer, File Explorer, and Windows media player pinned, and in 8.1 the store, and I think thats whats going to happen with 10. I love the live tiles on the start menu, and the menu is a little bit more customizable, I am pretty sure you will be able to remove the tiles, multiple desktops are nice, I dont care if it was copied, I like having the feature, besides, better late than never, besides, both companies have copied features from each other for years, nothing new.

OS X Mavericks fools. Ain't nobody got time for Windows.

Unless you plan on playing video games.

I play my games on my Macbook and I get better FPS than if I were running Windows on it, because I've tested it.
1
And what game is that? And how did you test it? Did you just use an external HDD?
1
Most people do not get a Mac because 1) Not all of the popular games are available on Mac and 2) Macs are REALLY OVERPRICED, they lower the price to something reasonable, they would sell a lot more macs, but, their prices keep getting higher, I stay with building my PCs. I can probably build something that is very similar to a mac at probably half the cost!
