I've never really understood the point on these. It's probably better to just buy/get the OS if you want it that badly as it gives you the true functionality of the UI instead of just a change of appearance with dumbed down versions of the features.

That's right... it's pointless..

 

There are cheap tablets with Windows 8.1 these days...  especially the cheap desktop towers for basic usages such as internet, note taking, etc...

 

the powerful ones are for gaming, video editing, etc.

Considering trying it, how hard is it to uninstall/ revert back to my windows 7 if I decide I don't want it?

 

You can run software again and click on Uninstall when you don't want it.

The point is very simple. Windows 10 right now is Technical Preview build and not really ready for daily use OS. While people who want to gets the similar user experience of Windows 10, this is what can offer without risking to use new OS in development.

Simple, people can test Windows 10 via VM. Once the testing is completed, they can delete it and install the latest version as soon as the final build is out.

That's a fair point since your target audience is probably those who can't set up VMs, VHD booting or dual booting.

 

Though, I'd imagine most users on Neowin will probably still want to test the actual OS.
