[dba-Tech] Windows 8

Hi all

Lots of improvement in the Consumer Preview version.

Now the Desktop is readily available, finally a native PDF viewer (Reader) is at hand (no more Acrobat Reader updates), and ISO files can be mounted as a drive by a single click.

But Flash is disabled in the Metro IE - for a good reason, many say - and the XNA Game Studio for Windows Phone is incompatible.
Also, the Windows Phone Emulator won't run in 64-bit Windows 8 - and who would run 32-bit OS these days?
Neither Windows XP Mode nor Virtual 2007 PC can be installed. You will have to use some other emulator.
