QUOTE(stasio @ Sep 14 2011, 09:01 AM) No, Nope,Windows Developer Preview (32-bit or 64-bit) still can keep file,unless you are talking about Windows Developer Preview with developer tools.only clean install.  |

QUOTE(shirley_andy @ Sep 15 2011, 11:48 AM) what's the option if I wanna continue using my win7 but wanna try this win8 beta? can install on portable external hdd? One of the option is to create a new blank partion for this thing.The rest is pretty much the same for windows 7,so it should work too. |

QUOTE(mengsuan @ Sep 15 2011, 02:51 PM) Major issue. Metro UI isn't supposed to work on screen resolution lesser than 768px of height. However Metro loaded on my netbook that has only 600px of height. Consequences is, I cannot launch most of the apps on Metro tiles. I'm only able to click on Control Panel, Desktop and Windows Explorer. The rest just do nothing. It worked fine for me,may be you need a larger resolution? |

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. |
