I thought you could only download 'till the 29th? This early thing was to avoid them renting a big enough server?

Yes I guess so, though there's still so much time, I'm sure some more builds and polishing in between here and release

I'm running the preview build
Hmm, maybe I should've added that, still anyone can try, n it's been good since i tried, except last build had an error making updating from 7 or 8 impsibble, but ONLY fast lane build, slow build was still fine

Also all snags I've run into could've been avoided by me sticking to the slow ring, but ehh
It's fine
I always thought 7 can boot up fast

You will lose you Win7 licence when you officially upgrade it to Win10 when it is released and Win10 is bound to your PC and wont work on a new one when you change hardware afaik.

I've heard different, that you can roll back to W7/8 if you want but that was in Sweden. Maybe licensing has differnt rules depending on country?

So if your an insider, on a clean install you get an activated copy of windows 10 (but without a licence) Confusion cleared up? Not in my head 0_o

How is it? Call me backwards but I am very pleased with W7. I heard horror stories about W8 and how it took "nanny" to a whole new level and contrary to what was intended was less user friendly. Some people complained they could not even look at their own files without a lot of hassle and how optional functions were cluttering the interface. When I heard that I decided to stick to W7.

it seems every other windows OS had something on it that was bad Vista, 8 are examples so instead of doing 9 (which logically speaking would have had some serious flaw they skipped to 10 to try to avoid that feeling that it's going to have a flaw that no one likes. I'm still running W7 right now

That has absolutely nothing to do with why they skipped 9.
