Windows 8 Developer Preview

Can't wait to get your hands on Windows 8 so you can program apps for it? Well the wait is over, you can download the pre-beta for developers now!

We're downloading it right now and we'd recommend running it on a VM. We use Oracle Virtual Box for VMs as you can create 64-bit and 32-bit VMs as well as VMs for Unix, Windows and Apple OS's. If you use a VM, then you don't have to worry about losing your main PC if something goes wrong.

Here are the systems requirements:
The Windows 8 Developer Preview works great on the same hardware that powers Windows Vista and Windows 7:
1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor
1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver
Taking advantage of touch input requires a screen that supports multi-touch
To run Metro style Apps, you need a screen resolution of 1024 X 768 or greater
