Installing Win 8

Finally I've finished installing Win 8 on my virtual PC (VMWare) :), although it took me a while until i install it successfully.








The first problem that i faced was a message indicating a problem in product key and i was able to solve it (with the help with uncle Google of course :D) by removing the floppy disk from the sittings.

After that everything seemed fine until when the process of installing windows another problem arise that is the one and only BsoD (Blue Screen of death!) and the message was " DPC_WATCHDOG_Violation"! And again the great uncle Google was a great help in case solving the problem :)

The solution was in the battery power sittings!! I had to switch it on High performance. I don't know why but it solved the problem!

And from the first look Win 8 will be a great OS hopefully it will not turn like Vista. The customization are cool i really liked it :).
