Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

Awesome! Thanks!

So that setting now effects / changes the font size for newly received email? Before (in 8.1) all it did was effect / change the font size for email that I was sending..

If you would like the option to use the "Standard" (full) on-screen keyboard,. you must enable that option in (from the right 'Charms'):
Settings, Change PC Settings, PC and Devices, Typing, Touch Keyboard, Add the standard keyboard layout as a touch keyboard option

Last toggle on the attached picture.

"Tap to Click" settings have apparently been overlooked. There is no way to turn off "Tap to Click" yet in Windows 10.

For those of you running Windows 10 have you noticed any changes with your battery life?

Windows 10 battery life seems no better, no worse, than Windows 8.1, from what I can tell. Boot-up seems slightly faster. Shutdown definitely faster.

Are you guys using this as your daily driver now?

I installed it on a hyper-v VM so if I don't like it I can kill the os...

Keeping it. Does what I need. Wish I had this directly from XP, years ago.

Yep, running on my production machine....

Its is the best way to build expertise on the product and provide feedback to the Product Team and Surface Team....

How did you manage this?

With Windows 10, users may choose to use the Start Menu or the Start Screen.

How to Toggle Default Start Menu or Start Screen
1. Right-mouse click Search icon (magnifying glass in the Task Bar), and choose "Properties"
2. Click "Start Menu" tab
3. Choose "Use the Start Menu instead of the Start Screen"

You will find lots of tweakability there, in addition.

In my opinion if you have the keyboard attached, and you press the button or the start menu, it should be delivered to you windows traditional + metro extension.
But if you walk around just in "tablet mode" (keyboard detached) and you press the start, you should go to metro style.

In my opinion that would be more adaptive, then dropping a checkbox for you to choose.

Thoughts?

I refrained from installing it due to the privacy policy, but I'm watching the development closely. Judging from videos and reviews, Microsoft seems to be hitting the nail right on the head this time around. This version would have been a great successor to Windows 7.
