Dual boot with Windows 10 alpha...

[ryanvade]

I have been experimenting with Windows 10 Technical Preview for a few days now and am impressed. M$ has listened to what the users want and have made a few improvements since Win 8.1. It seemed appropriate for me to test dual booting with the alpha so that I may assist users later down the line when it hits beta/final release. I have been unsuccessful so far in getting a dual boot to work properly. Bcdedit seems to have been disabled slightly and EasyBCD does not work properly.

If anyone else tries to dual boot with the new preview of Windows and is successful let me know.

Thoughts?

Start Menu is back. Speed improvements are the same as Windows 8.1. Crashing a lot. No official Intel drivers. Still uses more power then Linux and runs hotter than my Arch install.

mmm ok thanks Ryan.

Windows 8.x also runs hot without drivers written by their due device manufacturers (mainly when it comes to graphics processing, being it on-board/chip or not).
As do Arch and Linux in general though
