Wish it would've opened while I was checking last night; I have somewhere to be in an hour and won't be able to install it until I get back, and, judging by where exactly I'm going, I'm not going to be in the mood to install it when I get back.

So I've finally installed it. It's better than win 8 already just on the fact a start menu is back. I'm gonna use this as my main OS this week and see if I like it.

I'm currently using it. Installing some video drivers, hope the ones from 8.1 work.
EDIT: They do. My experience thus far seems to have been faster, and I like the start menu. Will test speed (vs cocaine) in dolphin edventurally. EDIT AGAIN: random freezes aren't fun, probably a bug that I should report eventually

I read that the privacy policy allows Microsoft to collect large amounts of information, given that it's a demo. Don't do anything secretiveat all interesting in it.

Performance differences negligible,as I've just found.

Installed in a separate partition today and at least here, everything feels faster, apps open faster and I can hardly see that typical Welcome screen. Performance did improve here when compared with Windows 8.1...

Well, in-application performance wasn't anywhere near as significant as between 7 and 8, almost negligible, but you're right that apps open faster. I think things are just loaded faster in general, which probably helps applications bottlenecked by loading stuff from the disk.

Well, I'm using Technical Preview for around 6 hours now and, believe me or not, I really miss the Charms menu: I know they moved the options you would usually find in charms menu into a new button in the title bar from modern apps, but I still find myself pushing the mouse cursor at the edges looking for the Charms menu, if it's gone forever, I'll take some time to get used to its absence. Also, I didn't like the new Start Menu. In fact, one of the first things I did were enabling the so hated Start Screen again...
And compared to Windows 8 Release Candidate, Windows 10 Technical Preview is much more stable. I'm even thinking in completely replacing my current Windows 8.1 install and use the Technical Preview as my main OS
