Topic: Windows 8 Dev Preview
I'm happy to report that the Windows 8 developer preview is working nicely on a Dell Latitude D620 that I shoveled out of my hardware pile this evening. It needed to be fed a Win7 Intel GMA 950 video card driver which is working nicely to enable graphical interface goodness. Fortunately the OS core components haven't drifted too far from Vista/7 even if the UI has been changed.

A minor note, virtualization doesn't seem agreeable with the OS. It runs like a sweaty pig-dog and MS is already posting recommendations to keep it as close to the bare metal as possible due to graphical performance requirements. It simply won't work at all in any version of Virtual PC though VMware does sort of cooperate with it and you can give it a go if you haven't any issues with the aforementioned pig-doggedness.
