[dba-Tech] Windows 8

Hi Jim

The phone emulator will be fixed, of course, but no date yet.

"...no more Acrobat Reader updates... "; excellent. 
"...ISO files can be mounted as a drive by a single click..."; catching up
with Linux?...maybe no need for a emulator then?
"...the Windows Phone Emulator won't run in 64-bit Windows..."; odd?

VirtualBox?

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.
