[Elecraft] Windows 8 Consumer Preview

[Phil Hystad]

Better yet, just create a VM to run Windows 8.  That is what we always do now for not just new systems but multiple systems.  On my Windows box at work I have about 4 different VM hosted systems.  Of course, one big problem with hosting with a VM is that a brand new OS is often not supported yet but.

If I really wanted to try out Windows 8, I would see if any of the VMs (VMWare or Microsoft for example) support it.
