Windows 8 Developer Preview on ESXi5

Posted on One min read

Thank you William Lam @lamw!!!!!!!

Due to William’s How to Run Windows 8 on vSphere 5 (for reals) post I can now try out
Windows 8 Developer Preview on my ESX boxes.

This was resolved in patch ESXi500-201112001 - it just seems that no-one told us until now.. It would be very interesting to hear what actually changed in this patch.

Running on Workstation was not a good option for me. My lab is on ESX boxes.

But now I am happy - and I can start to finally get to know the new OS.
