Preview the next version of Windows by downloading it or free and installing it on Virtualbox. This will let you install it and use it without screwing up the rest of your computer.

    I played around with it and to me it seems more touchscreen friendly than previous builds of Windows. I’m wondering if Microsoft is planning to have Windows 8 be a major hit for people with touchscreen computers.

    VT-x/AMD-V hardware acceleration is not available on your system. Certain guests (e.g. OS/2 and QNX) require this feature and will fail to boot without it.

    help !

    I formatted my 130Gb HDD and first did fresh Win7 Ultimate install and then started Win8 installation. It went fine until PC needed to reboot. Now I am stuck on blank screen, no options for Safe Mode, etc.. All I can sellect in boot mode is F2 and F11 (boot option) but after that all is blank.
    P4 2.8GHz,2 Gb DDR 512Mb Radeon AGP video,SATA 120 Gb HDD
    Any suggestions? TIA
