Just D/L a real copy of Windows 8 (free) from Microsoft and install it in a VM (or a second partition).

Don't waste your time with a "simulation".

Wow, they are about to jump the shark with this version of windows. Turn the desktop OS into an ipad OS is a HUGE mistake. If they really do this, and I hope they don't, it'll be the end of Microsoft.

Ummm... well, where to start... This is like a bad representation of Windows 8. It's small and images are a bit blurry. This isn't really a true simulation of an OS, or Windows 8. You can click things and images change to kind of represent things, such as clicking the explorer tile brings up bad images of the Windows explorer, but you can't really do anything with these as they are merely images and not actual working apps. This is basically a multimedia presentation that looks bad. The author's good intent is there, but the implementation is seriously lackluster. IMO this is a waste of a download and time.
