Thanks IRJ for posting the link - I would have missed it until tomorrow.
I think I'm going to buy this same tablet Garak has and use that as a platform for win10
I've held off putting Windows 10 on my WinBook...it is not optimized for tablets yet...more so for Desktop...
Might have spoke too soon...I do see the pictures IRJ posted... never could get the start screen going in my virtual Windows 10's...
Are you using Hyper-V?

I am using Hyper-V on my work desktop...VMWare Workstation on my Surface Pro 3 because Hyper-V and Surface Pro 3 do not play well together for standby mode...

I had no issue on Hyper-V on my Windows 8.1 machine. I just created a new VM, picked Generation 2, and mounted the ISO. The install only took about 20 minutes.

Well I have been playing around with Windows 10 a little more. Even though this is the initial beta, its seems more refined than Windows 8.1
Another thing I noticed is the compatibility seems better. I had an application that would not install in Windows 8.1. It kept giving me an access denied error even though I was logged in as an admin. I tried all sorts of different things to get it to work. Different admin accounts, different Windows 8.1 Pcs, and etc. For grins and giggles I tried to install the application on Windows 10. To my surprise it worked! It could be a freak incident, but so far I'm impressed

It's a beta but not a beta of a new product but of a "point" release. This is the move from NT 6.3 to NT 6.4. So the way that a beta behaves is very different. It is some new code for sure, but the base is mostly extremely mature Vista-family (NT 6.x) code that has been running for nearly a decade now. They aren't making radical changes so I would expect the beta to be extremely stable and polished compared to more normal betas.
