Thanks, good thinking, for some reason I did not think of it. I will also try it with CrossOver on OSX.

Given Microsoft track record since Windows XP, I will let others do their beta/experiment testing. ;-)

I have Win 7 64b and I'm happy with it but just for my education, what's wrong with win 8?

The following is my opinion and mine only.
Windows 8.x is Microsoft answer to the tablet phenomena.
Instead of having two separate versions of Windows, one for PC's and one for tablet/phone's they decided to create one UI metaphor for both.
Now, Windows 8 on a tablet/phone works ok, but on a PC's without a touchscreen it is not working for me at all.
I have tried it for several months and I was fighting against the UI all the time, at some point I decided that I had better things to do.
I revert back to Windows 7 Pro 32 for my Windows VM's.

For the Win 32 vs 64 bits ...
I bought the 32 bits versions for the VM's because it was enough for me.
In retrospect I should had bought the licenses for 64 bits version.
Now, this will be corrected very soon with a 64 bits license.

Best regards,

Sylvain
