Are you brave enough to try out an early version of Windows 10?

Microsoft just kicked off its Windows Insider Program this morning, which will give experienced users the chance to kick the tires on Windows 10 and offer up some feedback. But of course, it’s always dangerous to test out early software — especially early Windows builds — so I don’t recommend installing this on your primary machine.

As I explained yesterday, Windows 10 seems to be a huge apology for Windows 8. It’ll be interesting to see if Windows 8 haters actually warm up to this new OS.

I’ll be throwing this Windows 10 build on a Surface Pro 3 I’ve got lying around, so check back soon for impressions.
