There is a certain amount of irony that Windows 8 works quite well is most (all?) virtualization software except Microsoft's VirtualPC.
Also, is anyone else feeling that they love Windows 8 on a tablet but are constantly frustrated trying to use it on a desktop? One of my first experiences that kind of sums of my experience was clicking on a 2-second mp3 (I wanted that gorgeous notification tone), only to find myself waiting 3 seconds to it to switch from Desktop/Explorer to Metro/Music Player, play my 2-second clip and then leaving me staring at a rather dumb, blank looking Metro media player. (It would be helped if there was a metro version of explorer, but still, I feel very limited without many windows open and expose mode, and of course windows 8 hasn't really improved the command prompt.)
