I tried the final Windows8 (64bit) from DreamSpark in the latest VirtualBox again today (after giving the RC a shot). There were improvements, but it was slow as hell and finally crashed hard when I tried starting the Maps application. And it was gone as fast as it was installed. Perhaps it is usable after SP1, but it certainly isn't usable (for me) now.

You should try installing it directly the hardware of the same machine, I'd be interested to know whether it's VirtualBox issue or something else.

  Unfortunately that is not an option right now, because it's my production machine with Windows7 as a host and some other VMs currently running. The machine should be powerful enough with a Quadcore i7 and 12GB RAM, though. Perhaps it really is a VirtualBox issue.
