So like other Windows 8 enthusiasts I gave it a try – installing it in VMWare fusion4 on my Macbook (I installed Windows8 Developer Preview Build in my Macbook as well when it came out last year). To be honest, it is not so excited only to install it on standard laptop PC. Let’s wait for the one installed on some touchscreen computer to come out.

[Watch Out] For this time of Consumer Preview Build, it’s not available on tablets. The preview of Windows 8 will only work on PCs and laptops based on standard Intel Corp x86 chips.

Vista on Dell XPS M1210（CeleronM,1GMEM）というサイテーに遅いOSの上でvmwareやcolinuxを通じてLinuxを動かしているとそのあまりの遅さに端末を捨ててしまいたくなる衝動にかられていた。なのでたまにTV見ながら膝上に乗せて遊んであげていたけどその遅さ故に使うことが憚られその存在は忘れがちに。 そこで試しに入れてみたUbuntu 9.10。 デュアルブートではなく男らしくフルUbuntu。 Hibernateも問題なく動作しているしサクサク動いて快適。 よみがえったよXPS M1210。
