[dba-Tech] Windows 8

Jim,

One of the reasons to have Win 8 Pro is that if you want to develop Windows 
Phone 8 using the emulator you need Hyper-V. This comes with Window's 8 Pro. 
A word of caution, for Hyper-V to work you need a processor with SLAT in it.

Another reason is you will probably not see Win 8 pro again for $40 and it's 
nice to have it to test your software in the latest version of Windows. I'm 
not aware of any limitations as to how long you have before you install it 
so download it, save the license number and use it when ever you want. (I 
think)

I think that what ever Windows operating system you down load with, 
determines whether you get 64 or 32 bit. I'm not sure of this but you might 
check.

You do not have to install it on the PC you download from though, I created 
CD from the ISO file, but I did use a 64 bit machine to download it and I 
did update my Windows 7 64 Bit with few problems machine.

HTH

Bill
