    Do you guys think this will be stable enough to work on everyday replacing windows 7? Or should we definately dual boot, at least for a few weeks?

    Pfft, how dare Microsoft try to make me download via the web installer, that's really offensive!

    I will dual boot, just as I always have. If it is OK, I use it, if not I use Win7 and play with Win8 - win-win for me.

    I have to say the bit about you can array several hard disks into one, that sounds like an awesome feature!

    guys is there a way to install this windows 8 consumer preview on a vhd to dual boot with my windows 7? because the Windows 8 developer preview can be installed in that way... any thoughts on this guys?

    Errr.... Here is a mystery for you guys. I unpacked the WIM to VHD just with 7-Zip, booted it up and it asked me for a key so I typed it in, but it didn't work so I pressed Skip. Now I have no watermark, activation system and I think timebomb is screwed... I have no idea...
