       While I'm running Windows 8 on physical hardware to fully
       experience the new OS, most of you probably just need to take it
       for a quick test ride or check on application compatibility.
       Unfortunately, the Windows Developer Preview gives many users
       trouble using VMware or even Microsoft's own VPC.
       Solution: VirtualBox and VMware Workstation/Player 8 are now
       fully capable of running Windows 8 virtualized, so make sure to
       jump to the latest version. They MyTricks virtualization blog
       has some great step-by-step tutorials that'll help you get the
       Windows 8 Developer Preview running on VirtualBox
