Installing the Windows 8 Consumer Preview on a Mac

This is a simple guide to installing the Windows 8 Consumer Preview on a Mac:

Step 1: Upgrade VMFusion to version 4.  Once installed you will need to carry out "Software Update" as this will be needed to install Windows 8.

Step 2: Download the ISO image for Windows 8 consumer preview from http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/iso

Step 3: Make a note of the relevant product key as you will need this later

Step 4: In VMFusion 4 select "New" then "Continue without disk"

Step 5: Select the ISO image you previously downloaded

Step 6: Follow the remaining installation steps

I still have yet to explore the delights that Windows 8 will have, but it is quite cool to see it running on my MacBook Air.
