Windows 8 Release preview-slow boot
I am playing with Win 8 in Virtualbox inside Ubuntu. Win 7 works fine in VB and boots in about 30 seconds. Win 8 is taking around 10 minutes.
So far the little bit I have been able to use 8 hasn't excited me much. The first screen has me looking for the desktop and start button, but I'll give it more time if I can get it to boot somewhat properly.
Thanks,
Brad
Edit : I just did a restart and it took 15 minutes, over 14 was booting.
