Its a bloody mess doing it using an illegal version. Get the windows 7 professional for $20 from a student. They get up to 80% discount on Windows products. No hassle for $20 is worth it ...trust me I tried both ways :p

As for the Windows 8. Having it look like shit, with all the app stuff is not helping. They knew that it would not work, hence trying to release that free edition of Windows this year as soon as they can. Lets hope they look at what worked with XP & 7 and make something similar. Silly Windows 8 layout...grrr
