Does that mean that the era of easily dual-booting Windows machines is over? That sucks, I did this for many, many friends. If I read you correctly, installing a dual boot on a Windows 8 system requires quite some efforts.
Of course, one could make the sarcastic remark that *not* being able to boot Win8 is not necessarily a bad thing <g>.
I'm just wondering how readily Win8 could be converted to a virtual machine image. Other than the potential performance hit from running it inside a VM (and the pain of getting the interface-formerly-known-as-Metro to behave in a VM window), I expect it could do most anything you need it to do in a virtualized environment.
