So, I have a couple of machines running the preview. I basically feel like I am not their targeted market most of the time. I don't use cortana, windows phone, or own an xbox. The use case it play a game or browse the web. So, the integration feature set doesn't really do anything for me. Overall, the preview generally feels pretty good, with the occasional massive issues that tend to happen in software previews, nightly builds, and beta software the world over. Generally, think windows 8.1 but with slightly more desktop feel.

The gripes I have are mostly things that will likely get better by release, or are simply things that I disagree with design choices. To pick one example, let's talk about wifi.

The wifi selection recently moved from the windows 8 style UI to a newer UI. In the process it lost several features, the only things I can change on the properties screen for a wifi network are if it metered and if device discovery is on.

It might just been that I have spent too much time in linuxland recently, but that seems a bit like going too far the way of being idiot proof.
