Hey,
 
Just installed the core of Cakewalk Platinum on a 10122 build of Windows 10 Preview (64-bit), and a very cursory test shows it seems to work well !
 
As expected, the Windows 8 driver for my Roland Quad Capture didn't work and I'll have to wait for an official release of Roland, hopefully soon after the launch of Windows 10.
 
What surprised me very much: by choosing compatibility option with Windows 7, I could install the Tascam FW-1884 1.80 drivers, without any FireWire Legacy tricks, and it works ! (same, very cursory test, playing of a project in Sonar + listening music with Groove (aka Xbox music) when configured as default sound peripheral).

What is your overall views of Windows 10? I have it installed on a tablet that was running Win 8.1. I am not sure I like it yet. I sort of like 8.1 better. I do like that apps can run in a window though. My build is 10162.

Both my Roland Octa-Capture and Studio-Capture work on the Win 10 Preview.  I'm on the latest 10166 version.  My Behringer BCF2000 works on Win 10 and even my Frontier Tranzport works in Win 10 but I had to install it in a Vista compatibility mode. 
 
When the RTM Win 10 is released I'll be moving to Win 10 for my primary system.   The Win 10 Preview I have installed is on a separate hard drive, not one of my "operational" drives.

Fireberd, did you have to re install anything after you upgraded to 10? I am really nervous about making the jump to 10. I'm running 2 Studio-Captures synced together and the thought of having to reinstall all this stuff is really becoming a concern.

I've been running Sonar on Windows 10 since the first preview and it's been rock solid.
 
The ONLY thing that's holding me back is Roland/Edirols incredibly stupid insistence on blocking their drivers from future operating systems, and THEN taking forever to release new drivers for new operating systems. They've had months to do this. It basically takes one change in their driver files.
People have been complaining to them about this since the Vista beta, but they don't listen. I've never come across another Pro Audio hardware manufacturer who does this.

I think you will find most manufacturers won't release Win10 drivers until it is fully released.

In a way I don't blame them restricting the OS as people would end up asking for support on an OS that even MS doesn't support yet.

Not juan glitch did I see (other than Bapu error)  in over 2 hours of messing around.

And I just finished upgrading to the latest, 10166. This may be  very close to "it", as I see few signs of beta/preview other than the little message on the lower right.
