Got Win8 installed on VirtualBox just fine on my Dell laptop, but network adapters didn't work for me. So no internet. :(
I went with the virtual hard drive technique (http://hnsl.mn/win8vhd) instead and it worked perfectly. I'm now dual booting Win8 and Win7. :)

No luck for me with the 64-bit build in VMware Fusion 3.1.3. I hear it runs on VMware Fusion 4 though. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2996520
Does anyone know how to enable IO APIC on VMWare?
My attempt to install Win8 DP only gets a "HAL INITIALIZATION FAILED" error in the setup screen.

Hi Rod!
Networking didn't initially work for me but I got it going by using NAT with an Intel card; seems they included drivers for them.

Has anyone been able to use it in Bootcamp on a Mac?
I was able to install it on my MacBook. But the Bootcamp CD installer doesn't load. So I guess it "worked" but I have to hard click everything with my trackpad and I can't scroll with it.
It just feels like a tablet operating system over Windows 7. The new interface is kind of stupid without a touch screen.

Also it is important to do a full power shutdown, not just reboot if you are enabling virtualization in BIOS for the first time.
Ignoring the BIOS spelling thing: What is this 10 second wait here? Magic? What do I have to say and which type of animal should I offer to the machine?
More serious: Why?
