Basically, if your machine is capable of running Windows 7, then Win8 shouldn't be a problem.

Tried to add windows 7 back to WDP bcd and boot it...it failed.
May it doesn't like my custom boot screen on my windows 7 partition.
Oh yeah,the GUI multiboot is on PBR to MBR,so may be it can be ported to windows 7 back with some works.

I don't understand. Isn't Windows 8 made solely for PC only? Why is Microsoft implementing touch screen features? Since when did the LCD monitor became a tablet? What do I do with my mouse then? What the fish?

Yes it does work. My 64GB SSD partitioned into 39GB (Win 7 - primary) and 20GB (Win 8).

ANyone dual boot this? how is the booting time? Microsoft said booting time only take 5 sec.

I am dual booting. No lar, not 5 sec, but pretty fast, as fast if not slightly faster than Win 7. This is on a SSD though.

They are also addressing the Windows tablet space. With Windows 8 also capable running on ARM processors, expect to see a lot more tablets built for Windows 8.

It's already addressed before that Microsoft doesn't recommend screen height lower than 768px, but I believe Microsoft have attend to the problem smile.gif

I manage to get Metro UI to work by enabling downscaling by changing Display1_DownScalingSupported registry key.

i have to say bootup is very fast with ssd...even faster than win7 with ssd... rclxms.gif ...and seems to display nicely on a 42" plasma....easier to the eyes than the current win7 on the same rig.... hmm.gif
