So far, there's no indication that it won't. Though there might be a few startup issues the development team couldn't prepare for. But I'll bet it would get fixed quickly.
So if your worried about compatibility with anything not just STO then it's best to wait upto 6 months after general release to make sure all companies have done what they need to do to get things running smoothly.
Can't wait...
Yes I have Windows 10 Home insider preview build 10074 as of this week.
STO run's great on it.
You will be good to go.
Also if you have windows 7 or 8.1 windows 10 will be a free upgrade for the first year.
The only program I've come across that doesn't work on 10 so far is Oblytile.
I have STO running on 2 laptops running Windows 10 Tech Preview - one through Arc and one through Steam.
Both are working fine.
The only issues I have had are Windows 10 issues to do with graphics card drivers but I usually just have to re-install the Windows 8.1 drivers again, but this happens every now and then after some Windows updates.
On my older laptop I had to start STO in safe mode and change the DirectX to be version 9 instead of auto to ensure it worked, but that was the one issue I have had.
havent heard much on it, hope its not going to be like windows 8 in the way it works. i have win7, but might upgrade if it looks good.
thats all the general info i got on it a few months ago. im still cautious about it and wont buy it for a year out on the shelf at least when the price comes down a bit.
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
Just checked and it might be due to coding issues. Some programs might search for Windows 9 to determine which version to run so people would have the Windows 95 or 98 version running instead of the Windows 9 version. The other reason is that Microsoft thinks the next version is so good that they skip Windows 9.
I'll be damned if I'm renting an OS. Hang onto those Windows 7 installation discs folks.
Now that I think of it, how well does STO run on Ubuntu?

Apple's been doing the free OS upgrades for a while.
Linux users need to lose the Microsoft hate. Satya Nadella isn't Steve Ballmer.
It is most likely this. A lot of industries are just full of ancient software kludged into modern environments. That stuff doesn't fly in the home software business, but it's all over the place in businesses from retail to insurance to hospitals to power plants.
Anyway, after I read the article about proprietary commercial software reading Windows 9 as Windows 9x, I actually tried a hack on a Windows 7 system and changed the string that supposedly caused the problem to "Windows 9 Professional". Sure enough, it caused the installer for an insurance comparison rating program one of my IT clients uses to place its desktop shortcut in c:\windows\desktop instead of c:\users\public\desktop.
That particular program requires a registry hack to run on Windows XP, and multiple registry hacks to run on windows 7, and multiple registry hacks and a DLL injection exploit to run on windows 8. And that's the most up to date version with a build date in December 2014.
...and Windows users need to stop painting Linux users with a broad brush. My Linux use was a hobby, not a political statement.
