    Not a lot of time left for this version...dual boot or a separate hard drive will be a much better option

    In my opinion, 3 moths is a nice time. I've installed Win8 in last week, and i'm going to try out the upgrade to beta.

    If you have sufficient space in your HDD, create a small partition, say 20 or 30GB, install and get used to it.

    Based on past experience with the Seven betas, they are not upgradeable....Three months is a good amount of time, but I wouldn't install Windows Eight as a upgrade over Seven unless I bought it
