Has anyone gotten any W8 version to work/install on ESXi 5.0?

If so could you provide instructions?

Thx.

I've performed these steps (which are a royal pain, I had to manually re-write most of my config files) and I still can't get it to work properly - W8 32 & 64 or Server-8 - nothing works!! :(
