Here is a screen shot of the Windows 10 Technical Preview running as a guest OS in a virtual machine in Ubuntu 14.04. Windows 10 is in the smaller window (1024 x 768) in the center of the wide screen (1920 x 1080) Linux display. It can also be run in full screen mode.
The Kernel-based Virtual Machine is configured to use one CPU core, 2 GB RAM and 12 GB disk space. The Windows 10 setup asked for 11.1 GB of disk space. After install there was 2.64 GB of free disk space. A bunch of apps were downloaded and installed automatically after the basic Windows 10 installation completed.
At the far left of the Linux screen is the standard Ubuntu Unity launcher (dock). At the far right is the Conky Seamod widget that shows various aspects of resource usage on the host PC.
My reference for setting up the virtual machine was this article. Performance of Windows 10 is quite good under this configuration, and gives a good opportunity to try out the preview version.
