Windows 10 is not available for another month! But having said that, I have been playing around with Windows 10 (pre-release version given to beta-testers) in a virtual machine, and my initial impressions is that it is Windows 8 done right. It shouldn't be too much of a stretch from Windows 7.
Mind you, I'm not doing too much in Windows these days - I'm primarily a Linux user (OpenSUSE, with fvwm2 as a desktop), and that doesn't look like changing any time soon. Next year will be the 20th year of using the same window manager (desktop UI), and I've yet to see anything superior for my purposes (out of KDE/Gnome/Windows XP,7,8,10/MacOSX Aqua...).
