If you want to evidential proof of Windows 8 beta's, wait for some hours to download another iso i.e. RP and give it a try instead of installing Windows 8 DP. However you could try dual boot as per Brink said.

Is the Windows 7 ISO a legal copy that you are thinking to download, and do you have a legally purchased product key number for it?

That would have to be your decision for what you want. You could use one or the other, or both in a dual boot. ;)

Personally, I would install Windows 7 first as your main OS, then you could dual boot with Windows 8 RP when it's released in the rumored next day or two.

Absolutely correct !

@ TeKNoM, I would not recommend you to download CP now, as the more stable and less buggy than CP i.e. RP is expected tommorow :)
