I've been running the Win10 Preview on my laptop since last fall. I have had zero problems with existing programs during the whole time. The problems come when the Metro/Modern crew escape from their pen and crap all over the desktop.
There's kind of a turf war between the Luddites, who would like to retain the ability to do actual work, and the Modernists, who see the implementation of Devices and the Cloud as an opportunity to re-conceptualize everything, and the users be damned. I see no indication that there is any clear guidance from top management. Great example - in the latest build you click on 'Project Spartan' to run the new browser. When it comes up it says "Microsoft Edge"! And scrolling with the mouse doesn't work (it's a Modern app).
