    Installed 32-bit in Dual (actually triple) boot mode on old PC - unhappy with that (few Metro apps work) then in Virtualbox 64-bit on main machine - running nicely. Will wait for Beta before Dual (Quad) boot on main MC.

    Installed WDP 64-bit dual boot with Linuxmint 11 64-bit. Runs pretty good, except the annoying-uneasy shutdown.

    I installed mine in a .vhd by extracting install.wim using imagex and running this simple command from system32 bcdboot.exe H:\Windows
    It skips half the installation process and bypasses the need for easybcd.

    I set mine up. Virtual Machine. Took awhile to get it running I had to enable virtual on my bios first.
    I can't set up a duel boot on this HP lap Top, wish I could.

    Clean install of the W8CP 64 bit on Toshiba M305-4828 Laptop just installed Office 2010 Pro Plus 64 bit no problem . I have also run it in a v ware install but it runs a little sluggish in that install.
