BEtA!
When installing windows 8 you can expect a smooth installation, really easy to follow, the problem goes if you run it on VMware, it just doesn’t work. Here is the update with the way to set it up right.
In any case, I will be trying to make it work, for a fact, in Virtual Box it works like a charm.
This initial post is about the little things we always overlook, and that is the agreement.
This is a “free” copy, and as once Windows 7 was, this also has an expiration date, 01/15/2013 
you have a full year to play around.
In a second notice, Microsoft will be reading most of the things you will be doing, some you can opt out, some others you just can’t, but the idea is to give feedback, so enable them or leave them enabled.
As the year goes around you will be able to access applications that will be posted for free in the market place, therefore, is “free for all” kind of approach, see the tools, use them, and share feedback (most importantly)
But in the end, when the trial is over, those apps, will no longer be available to you, unless you purchase them, or perhaps some of those will remain free.
Also to notice if someone has an application that is doing something its not supposed to do, and you acquired it by mistake or not, Microsoft if he sees fit, will pull the plug and you wont have access to it anymore.
All is oriented to the apps, that will be the goal for this operating system, is a good idea, you buy lots of apps for your phone, why not for your pc?
The same ease of access that the market place brings to your phone will now be available to your pc, err.. device.
It seems the “Windows Live” brand will go away, I have seen a couple of posts about it, but this is the main indication that it will fade away? (time to do some research..)
Well, as I was trying to update some screen shots on the installation process on VMware, when the Devices ready was more than half way done..
BAM! I was welcomed with the new “Blue Screen”
And as usual with a Blue screen, sometimes it work sometimes it doesn’t… which in this case it didn’t work.
Well, see you in the next post 🙂 once I complete my windows 8 installation.
(So tempted to upgrade instead of virtualizing it)
