re: Installing Windows 8 into Oracle VirtualBox running on Mac OS X

Don Barthel — Fri, 01 Feb 2013 19:54:39 GMT

I went to buy Windows 8 here: www.microsoftstore.com/.../productID.255156900

But it says "To install Windows 8 Pro, customers must be running Windows XP SP3, Windows Vista, or Windows 7."

That seems to conflict with your instructions. For example I'm not currently running any Microsoft OS.

Can you explain the difference of opinion?

Thanks for the tip! I manually moved things over using the "control panel" apps and all has been fine. but any keyboard shortcuts are great to know about. Thanks!

Chris, I talked to you last Thursday at the Portland ITCamp (about how a person becomes a Microsoft Evangelist). During the camp, you mentioned buying a 3rd monitor (touch screen) and lamenting the fact that you're right-handed and the start screen is on the left monitor.

Fear not:

"Windows logo key‌+PgDown will move the Start screen and apps to the monitor on the right." windows.microsoft.com/.../new-keyboard-shortcuts

I ran across that searching for something else, and thought of you.

Couldn't figure out where else to contact you, but hopefully this helps (and works with 3 screens!). :-)
