Technically, you could, but you will have no updates for it. That could be alright, but you could face security holes without them.
Hi there
Perhaps you need to go back to the Dictionary to see what the word USE means. !!!!! (not trying to be nasty BTW).
Yes you are correct in that you COULD technically use W8 CP preview but I believe it will re-boot every 2 hours and also only limited tasks will be available so whether that constitutes "USE" is a moot point.
I'd suggest that people while enjoying W8 CP preview now find an another alternative solution before Jan 31.
Namely
1) Buy and install W8
2) Revert back to W7
3) Revert back to XP or previous version(s) of Windows (if you can get them to run)
4) Install a Linux distro
5) Buy an Apple computer
6) forget about having a computer at all.
6 perfectly feasible choices.
Cheers
