[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1372328, member: 71075"] My guess is you'll be wasting your time. First up, it's not a beta - it's a community preview which may or may not actually be beta quality (see [URL="http://www.zdnet.com/blog/bott/windows-8-consumer-preview-due-february-29-why-its-not-called-beta/4496"]here[/URL]). Even if it was beta quality, it would still only be beta quality. Second, who knows how well (or more likely, how poorly) your video drivers will work. It's a bit of a gamble at this point as to what will or won't work. For instance, the VBox drivers didn't work in the dev preview and that was closer to Windows 7 (which is fully supported) than this build will be. You could of course try it but my guess is you'll be spending more time fighting things than enjoying them. [/QUOTE]
