My own impression of Win 10 TP is that it is not sufficiently
different
from 8.1 to merit skipping a version number and going to 10.

Bringing back the Start Menu to the desktop is a welcome change.
Turning
off the hot corner for the Charms Bar is a debatable point.
Adding additional desktops could be useful.
Overall I don't see these changes as sufficient to shake off the
bad
press that win 8 received.

Personally I didn't have a problem with 8.1 - in fact I rather like
it :-)

What do others think of Microsoft's new offering?

Too early to tell. W10TP release is still in the embryonic stage.
- relative to Win8.1 - version 10TP is 8.1 with some eye candy

I had one thing to say relatively to size in disk. I installed TP
build
9841 and Windows Live Mail then updated to build 9860, now I have
more
then 27 GB of used space. If I had a 32 GB tablet, I would be
compromised.

IIRC You can purge windows updates. Run disk cleanup as admin and
there is an option there.

I trie to run disk cleanup as administrator but didn't find the
shortcut, so I searched and ran disk cleanup from search bar one time
then did clean system files. I supose it's the same as running as
admin.
I had 23 GB used space, after disk cleanup I have more 4 GB. Maybe I
need to reboot or run disk cleanup again.

I just looked and my install is only 17G. I don't have Live mail but
that can't add 10G.


Single program Windows Live Mail does not add 10GB.


I was shocked at the size of pagefile and hiberfile on
the Win10 test machine. Have a look. I couldn't figure
out why my Macrium backup was so small, and it's because
Macrium didn't back up pagefile and hiberfile when doing the
backup.

That combo here on an i3 with 4GB RAM (W10TP but not a VM) is just shy
of 10 GB
