I know... our umpc is a bit older now, but i'm trying to give a new chance for it, now with Windows 8 Developer Preview. I got a relative sucess... I'm running this os, with tablet pc input working, with snapvue with 3g and wi-fi acess. But i'm facing a big problem with the video driver. I tried reinstall many times, but i can't get it work ok. Anybody got sucess with the video driver?
Sorry for my bad english.... i'm brazilian...
How did you get window 8 to install. I try and it said the shift did not meet the hardware rquirement.
I copy the iso on to a tumbdrive and mount it on a virtual drive for the installation process.

I downloaded the iso from de MS site. I used the USB image creator which is used to install the windows 7 in notebook. Restarted the machine, press f10 and enter in the setup... my htc is basic 40 gb hd and stock 1gb of ram...
camargomaia: i think it's possible, Windows 7 works fine and Windows 8 are (not for first look) still similar. Tomorrow i will try it, now i got two pieces of htc shift. Did you success with install all of default Vista drivers? Touchscreen is Working? thanks

Every is working, and the speed is very good. The only trouble is the video driver. In the process of setup our shift try hi-resolutions, that it not support, and this causes a instant reboot, similar that we had when trying to install the windows 7, with the aero enabled.
I thing that problem may be here, the windows 8 doesn´nt have the classic theme (windows 2000 theme)...
Let´s try to make this work, our old pc can beat the ipads, in some specs...
My Shift works fine now! I downloaded the drivers from the intel site and now everything is working! Our PC can run Windows 8!
Can you post a link for the driver you used?
What other drivers do I need to download before installing.
Is snapvue working?
Thanks

At night i will post th link, i'm at work now, using another pc...
Everything works: snapvue, bluetooth, wi-fi, 3g, resolution changer, etc... and the speed felling is very good!
Good friday for everybody! Greeting from Brazil!
I posted a guide I wrote up in the Shift Development forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17602535
The guide includes links to all the drivers I have used and the process I followed to get Windows 8 running on the Shift from a totally clean install.
As with camargomaia's parallel experiences, once all the drivers are installed the Shift very usable in Windows 8. Even in it's stock RAM limited state.

That is the same driver I used. The driver is also good if want to run Metro or the desktop at 1152*864 (so all the Metro apps that need a minimum of 1024*768 will run).
Thanks for creating the guide! Great Job!
guys good job!

Hi guys I have just downloaded win 8 from Microsoft but I want to triple boot my laptop is that please help.
Extra info : ram 4gb
Hard disk 320gb

You can dual boot win8 and win7 its a breeze, i just did follow this simple steps posted on microsoft-news.com
just make three partition on your laptop...one for each.. or you can install Ubuntu through wubi on windows 7 and windows 8 on a separate partition.. am currently using like this...
Easiest way is to install ubuntu inside windows 7 and use VMware to instal Windows 8 on virtual machine.
I did that today. Could go without windows eight tho.
thnx everyone i run win8 in VMware..

Its actually pretty simple.Just dual boot windows 7 and 8.Im sure u knw how o do this.Then install Ubuntu alongside 7 through the boot setup!
If you had a newer CPU, I'd suggest using Client Hyper-V (from Win8) to run the other OSes virtually, but the Core 2 family lacks second-level address translation, which means Hyper-V messes up desktop performance so MS made SLAT mandatory on client (non-server) builds if you want Hyper-V.

I had my windows 7 installed , and then i installed ubuntu. Now , lets say you installed windows 7 on a LocalDrive (c):, then in this drive there will be some files.
wubildr
wubildr.cfg
wubuildr.mbr
These are the files that gets your ubuntu booted.
So just install windows 8 normmally on some other drive. (note: dont keep any operating system in same drive. Make a 100gb for windows 7 , 50gb for ubuntu(if you not compiling any big projects) and 100 gb for Windows 8 , and the rest 70 gb a 4th hard drive )
You can store songs and stuff in any drive you want.
NOTE:
When you boot up your computer,this is what happens,
1) Bios awakes all the hardware("Goodmorning mouse,keyboard harddisk, any other devices connected too (except your internet router) )
2)Bios finds a operating system and boots up its "SELECT OPERATING SYSTEM"(called bootmanager).(in my pc when i use windows 8 and shut it down, the next time i start pc i get windows 8's boot menu. but if i use windows 7 and shut it down , and next time when i turn on my pc i get windows 7's bootmenu, You wont get ubuntu boot menu on startup)
3)Go to Windows 8 , open my computer . Now you will see that the drive on which you installed Windows 8 is now C drive..
4) Find out on which drive you had your windows 7, open it, go to program files. and use which ever software you had without reinstalling it, Like lets say if i want photoshop, then i will go to windows 7 drive, open program files, then Adobe, then photoshop cs5 and here there will be photoshop.exe, i will create shortcut on desktop (use this method only when the software publisher have not published the software for windows 8, eg TeamViewer , they released their software for windows 8 , so i wont link it to desktop from my windows 7 files.. I will download a new one.. )
Thats it.. have fun buddy..
Check this out.
Google EasyBCD. And then download that software. so if you ever mess up , then you can make a new entry in your bootmanager and name it what you want. lets say you mess up with ubuntu, and in boot menu ubuntu option doesnt come, then you go to windows 7/8 and then open up EasyBCD , make a new entry , name it Ubuntu(or what ever you want) and then point it out to "wubildr.mbr" (remeber , make backup of the three files i told above..) Also you can change the names of existing OS. Like Windows 7 can be changed into Hello, This is Windows 7 . Then this will appear in your boot screen..
Hope i helped. I know you booted windows 8 in VM, but VMs are slow... I just gave you extra info so u know what to do if you mess up on install new OS again

It is easy install Ubuntu alongside win7 and install windows 8 to a different partision
you can install them separately, each on a partition
it is very normal and easy
i did it, i installed windows 7 then 8 then ubuntu
just make sure to install ubuntu after all because of the grub boot loader
Win 8, then Hyper-V as many different OSs as you have space for, its quick, painless, you don't need to worry about Linux over zealous bootloaders screwing everything up, unless you are running several at the same time even a moderate spec'd PC with the correct hardware requirements will run them both without much of an issue.
one thing I miss from 7 is the ability to run XP programs right of my desktop, I have some USB hardware that only supports 32bit XP, on 64 bit 7 I VM'd with XP mode, had the program icon that used said hardware right on my 7 desktop, double clicked, and for all intensive purposes it ran and worked the hardware as if it was on that very os
pretty impressed I have to say, alas it doesn't work like that on 8 which is a shame
when im trying to install windows 8 in virtual box im getting the following error:

If you're trying to run Windows 8 64-bit, you have to have hardware virtualization support.
See http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch03.html#intro-64bitguests and http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch10.html#hwvirt.

No he means that your cpu needs virtualization support in order to run it in a VM. What CPU do you have?

If you follow and read the links I posted above, you'll see that if you're running the 64-bit version of Windows 8 (as a guest) it needs hardware virtualization (i.e., your CPU needs to support either VT-x [Intel chips] or AMD-V [AMD chips]). You'll need to turn it on in the BIOS.
I believe the other option is to run the 32-bit version of Windows 8 in your VM, where it will not require that hardware virtualization (if my memory serves).
I have Samsung Ativ Smart PC notebook (tablet transformer) based on Intel Atom Z2760 and Windows 8 x86 core.
Windows Phone SDK 8.0 required Windows 8 x64, Hyper-V and hardware virtualization. But if I don't need Windows Phone Emulator, I don't need Hyper-V and hardware virtualization.
Is there a way to install Windows Phone SDK without Emulator?
(Sorry, translated from Russian)
oh
The windows phone SDK comes with a complete set of tools, so while installing you can't CHOOSE what you want or not....
You have just 2 options-
1 : Install it with every thing which is present in the SDK.
2 : Maybe after installation TRY to delete/uninstall the phone emulator separately but at first you HAVE to let it install completely.
Hit thanks if you got me..!!

did you ever find a solution to this? I am having the same issue...
I have a desktop computer about 4 year old, running Windows XP. It has hardware robust enough to run Windows 8. So, I created a bootable usb drive using Windows 7 usb tool in my laptop running Windows 7 HP x64. The usb drive works fine on my laptop, both while booting from it as well as using it while already booted on Win 7 to install Windows 8. But when I insert it to my desktop, and run setup.exe, it shows that setup.exe is not a valid win32 application. And if I boot from it, just shows the Windows 8 logo and does nothing, even if I leave it for a couple of hours, I have purchased Windows 8 for both my pcs but I am not able to install it on my desktop. Help.

Windows XP 32-bit will likely be unable to start the 64-bit setup.exe file, you'll have to boot the installer from the USB stick or from a DVD.
or use a 32-bit ISO and install a 32-bit version of Windows 8.
As nbates said you can't run apps with different architecture. Make sure you have the right settings set in the BIOS (make the USB device bootable) and install again. I think that there was an app called Wintousb or something like that. That's the best app for making a bootable usb.
EDIT:
WinToFlash, that's how the app is called

Since Windows XP both a 32Bit and a 64Bit version exist. OP therefore should clearly specify which machine have what OS version running...

Another worthwile freeware tool is WiNToBootic - the ultimate Windows Boot Disk Maker

yeah since XP 64-bit was mostly unpopular i'm assuming they're using 32-bit XP.
