I got windows 10 Tech Preview on my second computer, its decent I suppose Just be sure to unplug your internet connection before you install it, otherwise it will force you to sign up with a MS account (no option to skip it) if the internet is unplugged you can make a local account like previous OS's

They will bring aero glass back for Windows 10 provided you add that to your technical suggestions through the preview itself when giving feedback. They stated this last December.

I have questions all right, but it will probably be much closer to launch before we get answers to them.
For example, will Win 10 still use Pro / Non-pro branding? If so what features make the split this time? Also if everyone gets a free upgrade, then do Windows 7 Ultimate users and Windows 8.1 Pro users get upgraded to the "pro" or whatever edition of Windows 10?
I enjoy Pro because I make extensive use of the free usage rights to HyperV. Non-Pro users don't get that option. VMware is nice but not having to buy VMware Workstation makes HyperV extremely attractive to me. I'm really hoping Microsoft continues to see the light and just does away with the split editions for consumers entirely.
 Have water, will cool.

as to what Features will be split that is not certian right now as MS still gonna be throwing features new bits are way as the next few months go by with newer builds and such. now Windows 7 ultimate users will get an upgrade to windows 10 Pro just like everyone else as ther is no ultimate editions anymore and i only assume NON Pro users will get windows 10 pro but i dont know. Microsoft siad they would be giving more info now the road at Build 2015 during ther live stream on the 21st last month. i myself am loving windows 10 i got it customized a bit and still doing some stuff to make it to my liking but it is fantastically f fast much more so then windows 8.1 and that is great considering 8.1 is already a fast beast if you have not watched there 21st event you should it was damn cool

It was informed to the testers from Microsoft the other day that the Aero Glass is the most requested feature for Windows 10. Hopefully that third party site will develop one that actually works properly. The current build and test build of the aero glass replacement doesn't seem to work correctly. At least not on any of the test machines I have tried it on. Besides I think the current beta of aero glass from that site linked by RJ only supports the previous test build.

Actually I think you can...say you don't have a MS account, then there SHOULD be an option to sign on with normal windows login.
