I like to separate the download step from the install step.
If I need the test machine on short notice, I want it to be
available, and not in the middle of something. Which is why
I prefer the ISO method, if possible. I get to choose the
maintenance window.

I thought you were a VM kind of guy, so I'm surprised that you don't
have at
least a few of the builds in VMs. Upgrade one while working in another.


I've been running Win10 Preview on real hardware
rather than a VM.

Opinions, please. I'm contemplating "getting Windows 10" per tray icon.


Wait.

If you want to "see Win10 in all its glory", slap
a hard drive in your test machine, and install
Win10 Preview. I use a separate disk, so it cannot
hurt anything.

If you don't want to use the Preview (because of
potential rough edges), wait two months after
RTM delivery date, and then see what the considered
opinion from people who took the plunge was.

I expect what would happen to me, is I'd get the
Microsoft Account step, it wouldn't let me move
forward, and I'd be very angry. We just don't
know at this point, how RTM will behave. And the
Preview behavior, is not a guarantee of RTM
behavior.

Without a Microsoft Account, there's hardly a reason to
get it. You must drink the Koolaid, to get the
(perceived) value from it. Cloud computing. Cortana.
Maybe even a Hololens someday (if you can afford it).
All silly stuff you'll get bored with after
five minutes.
