Windows 8 Developer Preview on MacBook

I installed a 2.5-inch SATA hard drive with Windows 8 Developer Preview on a MacBook. It boots up just fine with the exception with the MacBook trackpad driver. Gotta give Microsoft credit for making Windows 8 compatible with older hardwares such as this MacBook.

Microsoft has been selling Windows 8 Upgrade at a special pricing.

But we have our promotional offer available until January 31st 2013, you can upgrade to Windows 8 Pro for just $39.99 ERP* (U.S.) via Windows.com using the Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant or pick up a DVD copy at a local retailer for just $69.99 ERP* (U.S.).
