Windows 8 anyone?

[Aric Stewart]

So for some conversation that is not release related...  Anyone 
installed the windows 8 consumer preview yet? It refuses to install in 
my virtual box or (old) vmware fusion machines. I think it really wants 
real hardware.

If someone does has a copy running, maybe i can send a uniscribe script 
enumerator that you would run and send me the result?  I would be 
curious what new languages Microsoft has added.

I tried in the developer preview from a few months ago and nothing had 
really been updated there.

Hi Aric,

I was able to install the consumer preview on my VirtualBox 4.1.8 the 
same way as the developer preview (2G of RAM, 40G of disk, 128M Video 
Memory, "Use host I/O cache" checked on the storage section).
I can run your test if you want.

Cheers,

Anyone has the new Visual Studio? I wonder if it includes an ARM Crosscompiler...

Yes, there is one in the Visual Studio 11 Express that comes with the 
developer preview.
Here an excerpt from "cl /?" output :

Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 17.00.40825.2 for ARM
/arch:<target> minimum CPU architecture requirements, one of:
     VFPv3 - enable use of VFPv3 instructions
     VFPv3-D32 - enable use of VFPv3 instructions with 32 double 
precision registers available

and an excerpt from "link /?" :
/MACHINE:{ARM|EBC|X64|X86}
