10 is fine, but I bet Windows 7 will be the next XP.

Have you got a spare PC?
You may try it out on the fly: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows/preview
No spare PC for me. Think it's time to upgrade from my Core 2 Quad CPU Q8300..... Need a big lotto win urgently.

Running Windows 10 Preview in a VM, nothing to be excited about, Microsoft is obviously looking for input and suggestions before final compilation and release next year.
Base it on XP and take opinions from 1 or 2 billion users.

I have a Windows 95 machine in the garage somewhere...
It has a huge 2.5 GB harddisk, it should be good enough to test W10...
(It has a 56K modem built in for Dial-Up so downloading W10 would be easy with it)

It's on my old comp : Dual core 2.5 Ghz, 2G Ram, 180 G HD, Windows XP SP3. With the Windows 10 Running in a VMware Player.
The comp also has a 320 G HD with Windows 8.1 which is Dual booted with the XP.

I purely use VMs these days to test other OSs.
Back in the old days I had a KVM switch to share screen/kb/mouse but running them in a window is so much nicer.

The original discrete switch one that can't display a clear screen at full HD, or the digital switch one that was 1/7th the price and worked so much better?I've still got my old KVM
Ummmm, it's Saturday?The original discrete switch one that can't display a clear screen at full HD, or the digital switch one that was 1/7th the price and worked so much better?
IHNFI - mine is switched via keyboard - can't remember which keys off hand, but it was 2 taps on 1 key to activate and then another key to switch to say A, then tap-tap and then another key to switch to B

Da discrete switch one had a switch on the front panel that was controlled by reaching out and turning it, back and forward.
This was the modern one with PS/2 connectors.

Ahhh. IC.... sorry, I see...Da discrete switch one had a switch on the front panel that was controlled by reaching out and turning it, back and forward.

Mine was vastly different to them, the top one reminds me of a printer switch.
Were they hot-switching? I can see some problems with keyboards/mouses...
Mine was hot-switching as I explained above, not the item, but very similar, below:
