The key's on the download page http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/iso
orestes,
"The key's on the download page http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/iso"
So it is, I feel foolish now. I did search and read the instructions though, the md5 hashes screened the activation keys.
Anyone else try it under KVM?
All I get is a picture of a fish blowing bubbles, and then it kicks back out to the BIOS screen.
The developer preview of win8 worked, so maybe they broke something.
Oh well, it loads under plain QEMU.
This is unexpected, I can't get past the windows activation screen. Good job microsoft.

Edit: I've searched microsoft's win8 website and the web for information, but I still can't find out how to activate the preview. Does anyone else know how to get the preview working?

If you use the ISO rather than the web setup package, you can get the key from the ISO download page at http://preview.windows.com/
