Windows 8 Developer Preview Installation

So Windows 8 developer preview is installed. Go Me

I only had a single issue installing it (miracle I know) and it was with VMWare... It seems that both on my mac and PC that the versions of VMWare I was using 3.1.x and 7.something respectively drops an error. After I paid to update my VMWare, Windows 8 installed like a champ.

So first impressions I like the new 'Start' page... lots of people have said this so nothing new.

I'm not so thrilled about Uncle Bill wanting me to use a Hotmail account to set up an account on the machine. I don't have a Hotmail account so I just went and selected 'set up a local user account' and Bam! I'm cooking with gas.

I think I may have lied about the 'Start' page... but that may be because of my Mac's keyboard...

I've got a some work to do over the next few days so I can dig into VS11 but even on a machine with only 2 gig of RAM seems responsive.
