Outside of some stability/compatibility issues that I hope are ironed out before release, I've been pretty impressed with Windows 10 preview so far. I only use Windows for games these days, so I can't really speak to it from a productivity standpoint, but the interface is much more intuitive than Windows 8's while still keeping the handful of things I liked.

Ironically, there were a couple of Windows 8 behaviors I had to unlearn (for example, there's no longer the super strange "hot corners" that were the only way to access the shutdown menu). Definitely didn't take as long as initially learning how to navigate Windows 8, though :)

I'm not a fan of the hot corners. If you use a keyboard, you can use the following shortcut to shutdown your PC

WIN KEY + X, U, U

Windows Key + X is pretty much the one thing that makes Windows 8 tolerable on the desktop and the one thing I would recommend everyone having trouble with Windows 8 learn even if they aren't generally keyboard shortcut users and navigate the resulting menu (the WinKey+X menu) via mouse. I've been using Windows 8 since release and never use the hot corners stuff at all thanks to this menu.

Agreed 100%

alt + f4, enter, enter also works well
