Have you received an advanced copy of Window's 10 and will Audacity be compatible with it when it comes on on July 29th?

Since everybody is struggling with current OS compatibility problems, I'd guess no.

Once I get Windows 10, what would you be looking for? Just to try it out and let you know what works and doesn't work?

Anything, really. I posted the idea to the other elves. It's too late to back out.

As it says on http://audacityteam.org/download/windows#sysreq Audacity 2.1.1 will not "officially" support Windows 10.

We don't receive anything from Microsoft. A developer tried some of the preview builds and I will be trying to find the final RTM version 10240 in the next few days. However some users who had tried earlier preview versions of Windows 10 said that Audacity seemed to work OK.

Yes please, especially anything that used to work in Audacity in your previous Windows version and now doesn't.
