[QUOTE=PotcFdk;46124527]Sorry I was unable to test Windows 8 as that required creating an account as well, which I didn't want to.
I mean seriously, I have no idea if this:

They got rid of the thick window borders without changing the actual Theme yet.
If you did that on Windows 7 or 8 it would look just as bad.
I seem to be able to run driver setup straight from .zip files without any issues or prompts asking me to extract, neat!
Tech preview is downloading now. Excited to give it a go, not excited at having to free up space haha.
So far are most Windows 8 drivers working for everyone? I'm just curious if the latest AMD graphics drivers work.

I think you have missed 'Sign in without a Microsoft account' button once again. Local accounts on Win8 work just fine.

Dude, did you just download Windows 10 [I]technical preview[/I] to complain about it not looking great? And signing in with a Microsoft account has some advantages if you aren't paranoid.

Working for me just fine :)

A few of the new icons I found, browsing the DLLs in system32 (one or two of them probably aren't new but I forgot to cut them out)

legitimate question

Google chrome running on Windows 10 inside a window on windows with a window[/QUOTE]
Now do that but with Windows 10 on a VM on Windows 8/7.
So people are starting to get themes working.

Why would you use an operating system that tries to sell stuff to you?
I hope you can disable it somehow.
It's nothing I'd care about while testing this in a VM, but something that would put me off if I had to seriously use it.[/QUOTE]
Why are you even in this thread when all you do is mindlessly bashing Windows 10?
Edit:
Didn't see the post above me asking the same thing.
[QUOTE=Medevila;46124977]Yoga 2 Pro here, is there a way to make the start screen come up instead of the start menu when I'm in tablet mode?
By interacting with the touch screen I can use charms to easily get to the screen, but it'd be nice if pressing the windows button in tablet mode brought up the screen[/QUOTE]
Right Click Taskbar > properties > Start Menu tab.
Top option should do the trick.

Of course it has, why else would people give up their privacy?
i'm not sure having all open programs on the task bar even if they are in different desktops is a good idea.

Won't do again. I'm sorry if my opinion hurt and/or annoyed anyone.

Theres a difference between posting your opinion and untrue facts.
[QUOTE=rhx123;46125190]untrue facts[/QUOTE]
Care to list these untrue facts? I'm very sure I didn't say a single thing that was untrue.

the things you say about the cloud and app stores are not facts
[QUOTE=Ezhik;46125292]the things you say about the cloud and app stores are not facts[/QUOTE]
The only thing I recall saying about "cloud and app stores" was that I don't like my OS trying to sell me something.
What about that is untrue?

Stop it already, no one needs this stupid drama in the Windows 10 topic.

you literally unpin it and never have to see it ever again

I agree, but I wanted to make sure nobody thinks I'm lying.
[QUOTE=LordCrypto;46125313]you literally unpin it and never have to see it ever again[/QUOTE]
Thanks, that was actually helpful and an adequate answer to my question.
I know they haven't really talked about performance improvements but did anyone run any benchmarks and see how it compares to 8.1? I imagine there won't be much of a difference but I always wonder with each new Windows release.
I'm going to try this on a virtual machine.
Does anyone know if Windows 8 drivers work @ Windows 10 ? Hmm
aaah shit. I love microsoft right now that they added this from the taskbar.
edit: Or am I senile and was this possible in W7?

Assuming you meant this, yup, it was possible in Windows 7:
