Windows 8 Developer Preview
Anyone been trying out the Windows 8 Developer Preview?
I've installed it on a second partition on my netbook. It looks good and all but the whole "metro"-"windows phone" look doesn't really work well with non-touchscreen computers...in my opinion. Thankfully you can go to the normal windows explorer look at any stage.
I am curious about windows 8 however we haven't had a chance to test it out. If you switch to explorer what new things do you notice?
Please keep all extremities tucked in...
I have the ISO, still wanna give it a try. Does anyone know if it will run as a VM in VMWare Server 2?
works fine in a vm or vhd, btw metro can be switched off it's not the alpha and omega, you will have to use it now and forever...

There are some nice little things in the operating system.... my favourite is the hint of a new file system
"multiplatform"... the word that ruins games for PC gamers.
"How boss is this ?" what kinda slang is that
I would also like to get a hand on it. When will it be open to full beta testing?

I dont think there's a need for windows 8 yet. windows 7 is fine still

haha i love win7 still
I wonder how much of the OS will be linked to a cloud of some-sort, recently it was reported (I cant remember by whom) that Win8 is 'unpirateable'. only way i can imagine that is if it is linked to a cloud. Any thoughts?
