Andre has just posted his 20 page, 48-screenshot of Microsoft's Windows 8 Developer Preview. Here is an excerpt:
The Developer Preview currently does not support in place upgrades from Windows 7, Vista or Windows XP. The Windows 8 setup experience starts out slow; the initial Loading Setup pre-boot environment took some time, but eventually reached the graphical setup screen. Of course, this will be optimized as we go forward. After this phase is done, you see the Windows Developer Preview Boot screen. The Install Windows screen features a similar interface to Windows 7, a bit paler and drab I guess to distinguish its targeted audience (developers). The initial phases of the setup experience such as Copying files, Expanding Files, Installing features, Installing updates and Completing installation are all identical to Windows 7 (for now I believe). My setup consisted of dual booting with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit; right now the developer preview only supports clean installs.
