    Oh God, after I caved, saw standalone ISO was ready, so installed that, man it was smooth. So now I am sitting on a inner tube perplexed.

    Use the free EasyBCD from Neowin.net. I installed my Win 8.1 Release Preview
    on a separate partition on a USB External Drive (WTG process using Windows AIK).
    Instead of doing the last step of doing a "bcdboot" I just used EasyBCD to add
    the new installation and I was able to dual boot into it. Win 8 on Primary Partition,
    Win 8.1 the next over.

    No. There's a Springboard post linked which says Enterprise ISO is coming in the following weeks.

    I only found 1 differece between them:

    On the MS official iso, you cannot add drivers to the image, but on the non-official iso you can.
