I dislike Windows 8 as much as the next guy, but I find myself wondering:
* You can install this on any computer running XP, Vista, or 7; can I partition my hard drive, install my copy of Windows 7 OEM to that partition, upgrade that install to 8, and then dual boot between the two?
* Could you do the same thing with a copy of Windows 7 Retail? If you transfer your retail license from one machine to another, can you transfer the Windows 8 install along with it?
* Can you install 8 using one 7 key at one point and then use another 7 key later? It looks like, even though you have to enter the product key of your new device to get the upgrade, the upgrade is not tied to that particular key...I'm wondering if installing it ties it irrevocably to a key, or whether it is an OEM install that gets tied to a motherboard, or whether you can transfer it around from one computer to another with different 7 keys, or what?
Why do I care? 'Cause even though I have a serious beef with Windows 8, and would never use it as a primary OS, I sure wouldn't mind making money off of people who do... :-\
