Well, since I finally tossed my x86 Win7 yesterday... I decided to throw Windows 8 DP where the W7 x86 had been. Only for a few hrs til it gets replaced w/ the Beta but, I was anxious to see the DP non-virtual, even if only briefly. Took 20 mins to install & 14.4 Gigs. Only problem is it's so fast, it's a bit challenging to keep up w/ it, lol. Big difference to running virtually. Next & soon I'm anxious to see any difference between the DP & the Beta. So, right now, dual-booting W8 DP & W7, both x64.

Cheers,
Drew
