Nah, you can install on a separate partition and multi-boot just like any other OS.

ok cool

Actually, after reading around, it looks like it's not *technically* supported, but as others have pointed out that's likely just in case they change something major in the bootloader and all that. There's really no reason it shouldn't work. I'll be installing on a completely separate hard drive just in case though.

Just found out that VirtualBox doesn't work...

Re: Windows 8 Developer Preview Will be out at 8 PT!

The welcome screen was a totally failed idea.
However, I'm about to like a couple improvements when I download it tomorrow.

I'd do it today, but 2.8 GB probably take more than 10 minutes  tongue

And you really should update Windows when updates are available. Some can be pretty important.

I mixed up Internet Explorer with Windows.

You're still using IE7? O_O I guess since XP users can't use IE9...

Aw, we can't use IE9?
It looked interesting and I was finally gonna download it D:

On win 8 right click on it and choose settings
System ---> Motherboard --> Enable IO APIC
Tick all boxes in the other tabs.
In display enable 3D features and 2d if you want to.

Never found the need to click the 'update' button in the window that always pops up. I'm too used to 7.

There was one thing I like in FF3 that they removed in 4+. The status bar (how much the page has loaded).
