Could you tell us a bit about it at Sunday's SLOBytes? Maybe a picture of the Desktop?

I will bring a computer Sunday which has Windows 10 installed. Everyone can take a look around the OS.

I have Windows 10 Preview up and running.

Did anyone else download and install the preview on a spare computer?

Your experience with the preview... good or bad?
