Install Windows 8 in VirtualBox: http://youtu.be/pi1ClHsZHDw

In this video I show Windows 8 on a 2011 MacBook Air 11″ using VirtualBox. The MacBook Air runs very nicely with the Windows 8 Consumer Preview and as far as how to install it it’s simple using VirtualBox or Boot Camp. The multitouch trackpad is able to use many gestures in Windows 8, performance is great and the Metro UI runs perfectly on the MacBook Air 11″ screen.
