    I run on Vbox. wasnt that smooth. still lag even i allocated 3gb of ram to it.
    i would say it works great for touch screen and not for keyboard and mouse...
     
  2. So does it run well with VMWare? And which VMWare product are you using?

    Runs quite smoothly on Microsoft Hyper-V (from within Windows Server 2008). I still need to get used to the OS though :)

    dont really like the layout of the beta.

    really made for a touch environment.

    Running it on my late 2011 13"MacbookPro with Parallels next to OSX Lion. Installation and most of the Driver aren't any issues.
    Runs smooth, but don't like the Layout, yet. I think I will need to give it some time ...

    A buddy clean installed it, but then it crashed on him so he decided to wipe out the HDD and then reinstall 7. But everytime he installs 7, all the files copy, but then it would say win 8 files are still there and can't continue installation even though he already formatted the HDD lol

    Tell him to nuke the drive with software like Killdisk.
