NOTE: heed the warnings if you decide to install from a DVD over an existing
operating system, especially that part that says After you install Windows
8.1 Preview, you won’t be able to use the recovery partition on your PC to
go back to your previous version of Windows.



Well, I don't mind living on the edge a bit; so I'm going to
try and squeeze this thing into VMware.

If I succeed I'll let you know.

What a tedious process: setting up a Microsoft e-mail account, phoning home,
checking other, security e-mail for security code . . . .

Notwithstanding that, I am the proud possessor (note have avoided the 
word owner

having read the crud) of Windows 8.1 Beta on VMware Player 5.0.2 on Linux.
