Folks, I'm going to be accused of being a liar, an idiot, or an insane genius, but...
I installed the 8 Preview on the Oracle Virtual Machine today. When it wanted to reboot, it rebooted my entire computer, and BEFORE completing the start-up, tried to erase Windows 7 and install the 8 preview over it. I had already removed the installation disk. After five minutes of fighting, the installer gave up and spent another five minutes re-installing 7.
I have always read that a virtual machine cannot harm your computer, but that statement is not true.
