zdfx: Sweet, I have the same one too! But yeah, no download notification yet so I guess I'll just wait for my Win10 upgrade.

It's free because they haven't actually finished it and you get to be an unpaid beta tester...

At least they're coming closer to admitting it this time around.  You should touch a new Windows release until SP1. That's when it actually comes out of Beta...

Going to download some ISOs and make a VM or two.

It seems Microsoft is continuing their shitty Win8 tradition of not giving real links to the ISOs so I will have to download them from random pages that come up on google and compare the hashes to what's listed on the MSDN download pages.  Apparently those subscriptions fees are needed to justify normal downloads instead of POS executables that do $DEITY knows what else in the process of downloading and burning an ISO.

Fuck you Microsoft...
Well no direct links, but you can download the ISO from them.
Download the tool here-> http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
And choose the DVD option.

And BTW, AFAIK the first time, you shouldn't do a clean install.

The "download tool" is exactly what I'm complaining about.

Having a hard time upgrading the Win8 to Win8.1 on my laptop so I'll see if this works.

Really? What's going on? I haven't heard that one before. I upgraded to 8.1 easy peesy on my little dell tablet with minimal storage and memory.

Started up a W10 VM.  Needed to upgrade VirtualBox first for some silly reason though.  So far...

GUI is improved from the preview I tried and from 8.
No more 10 pixel border around every fucking window by default
Nor more names in the middle of the window
Can get rid of the stupid search shit on the taskbar now
Can't turn off WU from the GUI anymore, have to disable the service completely for now.

DAVE BSC, so is there a way to install 3rd party USB support for windows 10? even the schiit modi doesn't work

Depends on the individual driver at play. Class 1 should still work as usual, but for Class 2, aside from the usual "install as admin" and "compatibility mode" tricks, I dunno.

W8 required a registry hack unless someone figured something else out. I tried all the standard GUI USB power mgt tweaks.
