Windows 8 in VirtualBox
Has anyone tried running Windows 8 in virtualbox? I'm trying to install the new Windows 8 beta drivers for Trackpoint (http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloa ... D=HT072084) but I don't know how to install them. Any help?

Re: Windows 8 in VirtualBox
I don't think you should install trackpoint drivers in a virtual machine. The virtual machine only sees a generic virtual mouse, not the trackpoint.

Re: Windows 8 in VirtualBox
You can not install any ThinkPad drivers into virtual machine guest. You have to install VirtualBox Guest Additions but it is not compatible with Windows 8 prerelease yet.

New version 4.2 is supposed to have better Windows 8 support.
