windows 10 fyi
I heard this morning on tech news that so many people are disappointed with windows 8 that beginning next year they will be releasing windows 10,I guess 9 must have been a flop.

I have it going in Oracle VM Virtualbox.
I haven't tried with VirtualBox yet since I've read that the VB Guest Additions won't install there. Were you able to install the Guest Additions?
Yes and no. You can force the installation of the Guest Additions I discovered after a bunch of Googleing. Unfortunately the drivers don't seem to work - the display is pretty primitive and I can't get shared folders to work. I don't know if this is a Windows problem or VBox problem.
I didn't have sound at first but I was able to download a compatible driver and update 10. It works fine now.
Other than that, it seems to work fine - better than I would have expected for a pre-alpha preview.
Whether the Guest Additions won't install at all or they install but don't work is irrelevant, the point is that they don't work at this time. I recall when the Win 8 preview first came out it wasn't usable with VBox but shortly after VBox was updated and the preview then worked. I'm sure that will happen again this time around.
