Anybody else going to give the new technical preview a bash? You can get it from here:

Except for on my hybrid tablet laptop (a Dell Venue 11 Pro, if you must know - low spec variant) I generally avoided Windows 8 and stuck with the venerable Windows 7. IMO 8 was just too much of a mish mash that kept pulling me out of the desktop environment in all sorts of unwanted and annoying ways. Worked fine on a touchscreen but for work and admin tasks I just found it too annoying for words.
Anyway it seems they missed out Win9 for both historic and PR reasons, not to mention that some rubbish coders identified Win95/98 OS's by looking for a wildcard of "Windows 9" (compatibility fail). But otherwise Windows 10 looks to be more what I want from a desktop OS and so I'm going to give it a try on my backup system and see how it goes.
