Windows 8 Arrives

We have an issue with Windows 8 that stopped us to installing it on some personal notebooks until sp1 cames. We installed Virtual CloneDrive from SlySoft knowing that it doesn't support Windows 8. After having a blue screen and being not able to boot the system again we tried with booting it safely and we couldn't! so we reinstalled Windows 7 there. Although it was expectable to fail, it was not expectable to not recover.

Beyond that, we were developing interception technologies to hook inside windows 8 metro applications successfully.

CloneDrive shouldn't be needed anymore, since Windows 8 (finally) has built-in support for mounting ISO images.

The point of my comment was a weakness in Windows 8 beyond mountins ISOs

I've been using Virtual CloneDrive on Win 8 RTM since the first day I upgraded my computers (about 2 months ago), because I had to re-install several softwares from iso's... It worked just fine, and I actually never suspected any incompatibility issues.
