You're right it does seem odd. Especially when in 8.l it now has the same (I think) odd combination of characters - when it used to have my machine name in there.

After a few days of use, I'm starting to like Win10. I've been able to use all my devices and found no problems with sculpt mouse, USB ethernet adapter, or mini DP adapter. But I still need to try my stylus pen and have heard there may be an issue, so we'll see if this is true.
I really like the Start menu and the resizing feature! Pinning apps and moving it around really shows the power of the start menu. Changing the color and sizing it up or across is very easy!
Other apps I'm using on Win10 include the Office apps, i.e., Outlook, Excel, Word and Lync. Skype, Firefox, and Chrome seem to work as expected just like it did on Win8.1. The feedback feature is handy- anyone notice that the common apps you use, those are listed in the feedback list? So if you're having an issue, open the app, then open the feedback app. Voila, you're able to see if anyone encountered the issue but also report new issues!
Although I didn't get to install this as dual boot, I'm pretty happy using it as my normal system. System updates have been keeping it running smooth and no other hiccups at the moment, but only time will tell as I install a few more apps and try other devices for compatibility testing.

No better, no worse than 8.1 in my experience
Same here. I use it for only light stuff, unlike 8.1 has a lot of medium loads. But for most part, tasks identical, I don't think theres a difference at all. Though this is severely alpha beta build. But MS did promise better power management. So likely final build will include that, and extreme late versions of the preview more than likely.

Is there a guide to using Modern IE 11 on Windows 10?
I'm trying to learn IE with the Modern interface. I am successfully using the Powershell script hack to use the MUI, but it's far from intuitive for me, especially with bookmark organization. It also seems like some of the keyboard controls I read about for IE under Win8 are different. Do I just need to switch over to Desktop mode to do my bookmark organization?

Now that you pointed this out, I'm seeing the same thing. But it's also showing the same for 2 other updates. When I restart, it shows an error and to click ok to terminate the program. I'm going to send feedback via the app.
Anyone else having a problem with Outlook 2013 ? I can't attach any online only files from my OneDrive to any emails - but only on Windows 10. Local files are fine.
I get errror 0x80070057 The parameter is incorrect.
I thought it might be disc size as I only had 185Mb left on my Windows 10 partition but a clear out of the language packs under Windows features go it to over 500Mb free.
