I need to test my product with the latest versions of Microsoft Server. It was published some time last week. It would be great to be able to add a server to test with this software. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/server-cloud/windows-server/v8-default.aspx

  Is there a way we can do this ourselves? I tried to run an update on a Windows 7 host to Windows 8 and it failed.

  Hi Brian, excellent question and thanks for posting it.  We are currently testing it as well to get prepared so I'll follow up with my team here to try and offer some advice.  

  Tom, did you receive any kind of error in the process?

  Hello Gents, I just wanted to follow up with you re. testing various versions of Windows 8.  For right now, there is going to be a little delay on getting this available for you.  Windows 8's virtualization is built to run only on vSphere at the moment, which we do not support.  So we are currently trying to find a way to get this set up.  

  Being able to test 8 with us is definitely a great way to play with it without having to break the partition on your own machine.  More to news to come soon!
