I was able to install it on my MacBook. But the Bootcamp CD installer doesn't load. So I guess it "worked" but I have to hard click everything with my trackpad and I can't scroll with it.

I'm trying the 32 bit developer preview on Virtual Box 4.0.12 with Host as a WinXpSP3 system. Even with the above settings I keep getting a "computer needs to restart" error. Anyone faced/solved this issue?

More serious: Why?
I went with the virtual hard drive technique (http://hnsl.mn/win8vhd) instead and it worked perfectly. I'm now dual booting Win8 and Win7. :)
