Interesting.....
only 36% of installations of the Windows 10 Technical Preview are in VMs. The remaining 64% are all on actual PCs.

The 36% just basically wants to see how it looks. The 64% wants to know how and what works by using it as main OS on a more regular basis.

I feel the same way, it's the only OS I'm using right now and I don't feel any need to go back to 8.
