Installed Server 2012 on my lab machine as my main hyper-v lab os. Soothingly installed but getting bpa errors which seem common on the web. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserver8gen/thread/fb00775a-2da8-432c-9155-7d457fdf8e82

OLD NEWS
Download the preinstall VHD from Technet and starting to look around. I still unlike the beta process since the RTM will function differently, but in this case I thought I would a least look into the feature. While installing and playing with Windows 8 I will be post URL and links here. I was going to make some screenshots and share but this has already been done to death on the web.
