Allow me to preface this w/ WOW! (Now dual-boot W8 & W7, both x64)
Installed in about 15 mins. & takes up 14.4Gig; couple mins. more to put in personal info, personalize things an initial bit & a few secs. (for it) to find Devices (camera, printer, etc.).
Cool differences & greater sophistication compared to DP are becoming immediately obvious 1 after another... This will be lots more "fun" than the DP was. Anyway, time for me muck about, do a few 'me' things & explore & discover & decided what I may say to Connect going forward.
And, glad not a VM.
Cheers,
Drew

It sounds like you had an exciting experience setting up a dual-boot system with Windows 8 and Windows 7! Here are some key takeaways from your post:
- Installation was quick, taking only about 15 minutes and occupying around 14.4 GB of space.
- Personalizing the system with your information and preferences took just a couple more minutes, and the system quickly recognized your devices like the camera and printer.
- You've noticed significant differences and increased sophistication compared to the Windows Developer Preview (DP) version.
- You're looking forward to exploring the new features and functionality that Windows 8 and Windows 7 offer, finding it more enjoyable and engaging than the DP version.
- You're excited about the possibilities and adventures that come with using this dual-boot setup and interacting with the operating systems directly rather than through a virtual machine.
