Downloading for me.... I have many other updates available also though, because I just installed office 2013, and am getting those updates too.

Just downloaded and installed KB3050284 W10 Preview March Update.
My home office suddenly transformed into a holodeck filled with bikini models who are all really into old dudes. Other than that, I can't tell any difference yet.

My start screen is different, they fixed the background transparency issue.

How is everyone's battery life? Mine is not great even after disabling Cortana. Maybe 4 hours.

When I installed it, it stayed on 0% for like 20 minutes.
I was getting ready to abandon it and reboot, thinking something had gone wrong and the computer was froze up.
Then all of a quick it jumped up to 30 some percent.
The progress indicators leave LOTS to be desired.
It did that several times.
Just sat there for a long time and then took a jump.
Worked ok though.

@Arizona Willie Well, exactly the same behaviour here. Thanks for the tip again, I was going crazy.
I tried the new build, wanted to revert due to 4 hours of battery life and really annoying bugs - like explorer freezing so that I can't do anything.
I initially tried to use Windows Rollback, which appears to be broken in this build and told me my system needed to be repaired. Ok, so then I tried to download the Windows installation media from Microsoft - Microsofts downloader kept telling me that there was not enough space for the download, when there was. Tried this on a few drives then decided to torrent it, made my bootable USB and... Win 10 wouldn't use it. Same error as the rollback.
After this, I tried to reset, and this got me back to 8.1 - was never sure what version of Windows the reset would take me to, but I then recovered from my 8.1 image.
So basically, this build almost locked me onto Win 10.
