Right from MS's site

I don't want to sound mean or anything, but the Windows 8 Developer Preview is just that.. a developer preview. If you don't at least know how to install a .ISO, you probably shouldn't be playing around with it at all, to avoid messing up your own data.

I'm using it on a Dell. It's very stable, I could probably use it as my main OS. The problem is that the UI needs some... work. The jumping between metro UI and the old desktop UI is jaring, as many others have described it, and I'm not used to getting around in metro (hopefully there's some UI tweeks by the time it hits beta). But boot speeds are fantastic.

man I really dislike metro UI. that thing looks weird that's why I never like the window 7 phone. I rather use Android instead.

Well Done MichaelS99

Well done MichaelS99 - great to see someone doing the right thing & trying new technology. I don't have any suggestions yet on how to get the Bootcamp drivers to install on your Mac mini, however over the next couple of days I'm going to install Windows 8 on my i5 Mac mini under Bootcamp (the only difference being that I've got the AMD graphics). I suspect that it may be possible to edit an INI file to fool the Apple drivers into thinking they're installing onto Windows 7. I'll let you know how I go.

You have two options.

1) Use Bootcamp
2) Use a Virtual Machine like Parallels, VMware, and VirtualBox

I used Bootcamp, as it would not install on the VM that I have.
