    Barrelling down my connection at 12MBps - nice to see MS isn't doing a Raspberry Pi...

    On another note, any sign on the server releases?

    Will the installer version work like WUBI, enabling to install and un-install without affecting the current OS, or do we need to go partitioning?

    Windows 8 can be put "to go", like Linux Live disk. This is really cool. It works on a USB key as well.

    I must said the Storage space feature is kick-ass... you can just add drive or USB drives and it expends a partition... so lets say you have C:\ that is 160GB, and you need more space... add a USB key of 4 GB, and your C:\ drive is now 164GB. And you can add as much as you want, as long as you have additional ports SATA or USB on your computer.

    Well got Windows 8 installed and am using it. Metro IE feels a bit strange, all fullscreen with no toolbars or buttons.

    Maybe we should feedback reviews Pro and Cons or out of 10 after an hour of use.

    This does sound promising, despite my initial thoughts.

    So everyone, is it still just for touchscreen fags then? :p Or is it more user friendly on the desktop now?

    If there are Win 7 drivers for your hardware then it should work fine in Win 8. Not had to go find any drivers for anything installed in my system.
