Have downloaded but am unable to install in VMware. Apparently there is an issue with ACPI 2.0 that VMware doesn't support. When I get home I will try an install it on another machine that has VirtualBox. VBox is said to work seamlessly.

Just installed the Developer Preview and it will dual-boot with Windows 7. Looks great. Now installing Microsoft Office.

@philip...that is promising did it allow to download using accelerators? On Wed, Sep 14, 2011 at 2:40 PM, Philip Musyoki <pmusyoki@gmail.com> wrote:

I did not use an accelerator. It took around 3 hours to download the 2.8 GB 32 bit version. But I guess when the US guys wake up in a few hours it is going to become slow. Update: Office 2007 works Adobe Professional 9 works Skype does not work (Microsoft/Skype relationship not working) Windows Store not active. Internet Explorer 10 is very fast and retooled.

Mine downloaded with internet download manager very well. took 25mins for the 2.8gb. On Wed, Sep 14, 2011 at 3:18 PM, Philip Musyoki <pmusyoki@gmail.com> wrote:
