I tried to install the Samsung drivers under windows 8 without success. I ended up installing it on a virtual windowsXP machine running under VirtualBox on the win8 machine and it works fine.
I put the phone in download mode and fired up Odin and it recognize the phone.
been on 8 primarily since the dev preview, never had issues. I use the google USB drivers since I'm on ics.

I'm still on Windows XP haha, I meant to upgrade to Win 7 but never did since I can't afford to upgrade my motherboard/cpu/ram/etc. Windows 8 looks promising... but I don't really know how I feel about it looking/feeling like a mobile platform rather than a more 'traditional' desktop feel. Do they let you change it to look like traditional Windows or not?

I tried to install the sdk but it's complaining that it can't find java.exe or the java sdk even though it's installed and jave.exe is right where it says it can't find it. Did you run into anything like that?
EDIT: never mind. I was installing the 64 bit version. the sdk wants to see the 32 bit version.

not sure.. it should be using the same drivers. make sure you have those along with the Samsung ones, and I think I have the nexus cm7 drivers installed from somewhere.

Yes it will run but it won't do the a few things do to resolution. Also verify their are drivers for windows 8 for all components.

Lol didn't mean to thank you, twas a accident.
But anyways, Widows 8 for ARM uses a module called a Trusted Platform Module. Afaik, it is a hardware chip that basically locks the device to Widows 8. That is on top of the signed images and secure boot type of stuff.

we might be able to run windows 8 given that the surface also uses tegra 3, so there could be a possibilty there, just saying, but windows is a pretty good os not that bad like you think, actually not bad at all.

Did nobody read what I wrote? This is not an issue of drivers/compatible hardware/supported hardware or anything like that.
This is an issue of Microsoft locking Windows 8 for ARM to certain tablets using secure boot implemented in the UEFI. They are also using TPMs to lock the tablets to Windows 8.

You don't want a windows 8 device. I have the HTC Titan and I've tried to live with a really limited app selection but it just doesn't work. There isn't even an official Pandora app, and a lot of others are glitchy as hell. The os is pretty bad ass but with JB being as smooth as it is wp7 loses a lot of appeal. My NGex arrives tomorrow.

Actually what your talking about locks windows to the surface tablet, not the other way around. You can easily emulate an insecure UEFI instance, after all that's how hackintoshes work

Actually, I do want a Windows 8 device. I'm using a WP7.5 HD2 now. It's not as bad as you say, and as I don't use Pandora, it's not an issue for me. Also, most of the apps I use are not glitchy at all. What are you using?
I'm also not crazy about having that many apps on my device, so I'm totally fine with it. WP7 is a wonderful OS, please don't put it down just because you prefer something else.
Okay, I'm using windows 8 release preview x64 on my gateway desktop, and I need some help with a couple things.
First of all, metro apps will not load. I have tried several tweaks around xda and other sites and cannot get anything more than the app preview screen coming up for just a second, then closing. I have an ATI Radeon 5450HD graphics card, running proper amd catalyst drivers for windows 8, and all settings are correct.
Second, has anyone been able to get dfs tool working on windows 8? I've tried installing it in compatibility mode for windows XP, Vista, and 7, all with no luck.
Any help with either issue would be greatly appreciated... And sorry this isn't in a Q&A section, but I couldn't find Q&A forum for windows 8. TIA...

I have my Win 8 running in a VMware virtual machine. I noticed that Metro apps will timeout loading if it is taking too long.
The app eventually loads but does so minimized. Check your left side to see if it is running.
If you are seeing a lot of your apps doing this, you may need to upgrade your computer to something faster.

I understand that... But not a single one of the metro apps will start. They just bring up an app preview screen, then it drops to the background, and the app never actually opens.

I'd just reinstall. You have something wrong. Did it ever work? Maybe go back to a better point in time with System Restore.
You are logged in with a Live account, right? You can't load Metro apps with a local account (to my knowledge). You have to log on with a Live account.

Windows 8 didn't run properly on my laptop too, had some papercuts as well. The specification requirements for Windows 8 are equal to those of Windows 7. If you can run Windows 7, you can run Windows 8. So, it's all just a bit of patience before RTM and the final release become available.
