    Can someone please tell me where I can locate the Windows 8 preview after it finished downloading on my m11x? I canceled the install because I wanted to see if it will work with virtual box on my machine. It probably won't install correctly because its a preview build, but I thought I would test it out and sees if it is any good.

    C:\Users\username\Downloads is the default if you are using IE9 .
    Press CTL J in IE 9 to open it, or use windows explorer.
    Really good point, Tijo, I wasted 7 hours D/L'ing the 64 bit version that would not install in Virtualbox under win 7.
    32 bit installed perfectly!

    If you want to test it in a VM, i suggest you try the 32-bit version. Apparently it is more stable in VMs.
