Windows 10 is available
It is the TH1 version for those that are in the preview program. This is the full and final version.

I really like it John. The Start Menu is VASTLY improved. It's
snappy and stable.
While it will, for most, take some getting used to, it's a vast improvement.

I'm looking forward to 10...
I like 8, as it happens, and have never understood why so many peeps wanted a "classic" start menu.
Anyway... Onwards and upwards with the OS... I'll be upgrading as soon as I know for sure that Roland have caught up with their Q-C drivers.
cheers

I fall into that "peeps" category  .....I just didn't like the tiles and Metro's UI. I suppose it was more of a comfort/easier to navigate and finding things with the earlier versions that I was accustomed to. The tile thing may have been more practical for the Win8 Phone (which I did have at the time), but not for the desktop. I ended up using "Classic Shell" which works out great. I'll be certainly switching to Win 10 shortly (after seeing how it pans out with all you testers out there as well as checking for driver updates for my hardware).

I was very used to 8 an 8.1, and didn't find the GUI terrible...
While I didn't really like going through 3 screens to get to
something (min of 2 if not on the Desktop).
This is an improved start menu from the one contained in 7,
and it's pretty slick...

My workflow, from turning on lappy is, click on one of them pick icons with my mouse, usually just Desktop, and then I have all my day to day programs pinned to my task bar. If I then want to open say Paint, which I don't have pinned, I click on the windows key, start typing pai, and by that time, the Paint icon has focus and I hit enter, so my hands don't even reach for the mouse until I need to. I'm looking forward to 10 though, because, even though I haven't seen it yet, it will cater for all our needs

So you're an "artist", formally known as Synkrotron?

Since my PC was built by ADK pro audio, I contacted them asking for advice on this Windows 10. They said to go ahead and reserve my copy and download it, but to wait to install until they can test the drivers and whatever. Sounds like the smart way to go. I'm glad and optimistic that you guys are liking it and seem to be having no problems.

I'm hoping Win 10 is even better at handling multi cores that Win 8. And RAM efficiency. Quad cores and 8 threads is pretty much the standard now and plenty have more. I would think a part of the focus in Win 10 would be using them more efficiently. Hope so anyway. Does anyone remember the test someone did on Win 8 before it came out showing RAM efficiency and over all speed gains in audio production? I remember seeing it at this site and might even had something to do with Cakewalk. That was a big reason I went to Win 8.

Are there signs of the purported audio latency improvements?

My DAW's have performed equally or better then Win 8.1... I haven't "benchmarked" anything per se...but it seems to be as good or better...

On the same machine my DPC latency is considerably higher on Win 8.1 than it was on Win 7 SP1. Would be nice if it came back down with Win 10

Seems to me these improvements are TBA and TBC. Just like Sonar some feature, improvement or major performance benefit will come around one month which I might like, which could make me want the product. The only thing that makes me want Windows 10 right now is a) My aging Win7 office laptop needs rebuilding b) It's the latest OS. For a DAW environment I guess if I was running Windows 7 I might see a significant performance increase, but I'm yet to be convinced from 8.1 Later on I will need it because I want to run a supported OS as long as possible, and I'd prefer not to pay for it.
