Thanks for sharing this information, Bryan! You may also be interested to know that there's a new updated version of WIM2VHD that's been rewritten in PowerShell and doesn't require the WAIK kit any longer. I've posted the details here:

I am currently running Windows 8 RP (with Office 2013). Before learning of this LoadFest promotion, I followed Aidan Finn's tip (www.aidanfinn.com) to use the WIM2VHD script, diskpart, and bcdboot. It requires WAIK, but we're used this technique to provision new VHD's for Hyper-V and VMM too. Just thought I would share in case anyone else wants to 'roll their own' Win8 RP VHD
