so my dad walks up to me last night and hands me a cd. i look at it and it is WINDOWS 8! I was trying to set up a VM last night but VMWare doesnt recognize it so i am going to try and update one of my other old computers to Windows 8. Has anyone else got it? its the prerelease but dad says it is way better than 7 already

Re: Windows 8 Pre-release
Its windows 8 developer preview.
Boot times are much better.
You no longer have to boot to "desktop" to then.. access webbrowser etc.
Now its:
Post -> Boot to Metro Theme:
-Use web browser.
-Market
-Other etc..
-Desktop.
Pros:
-Less boot time.
-Less clicks to start doing what you want.
-No longer need to go to desktop to do browsing etc.
Cons:
-1 click more before you go to desktop.
