Trying it now under Virtual Box now as "win 8.1 x64".  I figure that's the closest to 10.

Win8 does have some improvements over win7.  Just not in the UI arena.

One of my buddies installed it fine in virtualbox. For vmware, I used windows 8 64 bit (for 64 bit windows 10). Any chance you just hit windows 8 rather than 64 bit?

I chose "Other OS (64 bit)".  Didn't work.  I also tried Windows 8.1 64 bit - that got a bit further but then failed as well.  Sad

So, I've never really been a Microsoft fanboy or anything. I mean, fuck, I absolutely hated Windows 8/8.1. I mean, literally never used either OS...

but windows 10 is actually pretty decent. They took a lot of the best shit from Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 and put it together. Lots of options and shit.

How do you know?  Read it on-line or do you have it running?

I downloaded the preview today but couldn't get it to work in my Oracle Virtualbox.  Sad

Running it currently in vmware workstation.
