Boot Camp - Windows 8 - Should I make a tutorial?

[LeakedDave]

Hey everyone, I've been reading around about Windows 8 and I noticed this link here:

http://gigaom.com/apple/how-to-install-windows-8-preview-using-boot-camp/

They go on to say this...

Since the Boot Camp support software for Windows won’t work with the developer preview, you won’t be able to install the Boot Camp tools on Windows. That means that to boot back into your OS X partition, you’ll need to restart your Mac with the Option key on the keyboard held down. You’ll be shown a list of available startup drives, from which you can choose your main partition where OS X is housed.

And they're right... sort of. But there is a workaround.

Anyways, I had Windows 8 fully installed WITH boot camp support software and all of the drivers on my 2011 MacBook Air within 4 hours of it's release on MS's site. I had to hack the boot camp support installer in order to get it to stop spitting the "This is not Windows 7!" error.

Am I the only one who has gotten this to work? Is there already a tutorial or should I write one up?

Just because something isn't supported, it doesn't mean it won't work. Many of us ran W7 on our Macs LONG before Boot Camp officially supported it.

I haven't seen a complete guide myself, but that's probably because I intend to run it in a VM. (Have yet to get to it).

A tutorial would be much appreciated! Installed on a 2010 13" MBA and I can't get many of the drivers to work.

I found a way of getting most of the drivers to work; however the graphics drivers aren't playing ball (it's using the default Windows stuff, instead NVidia). Laptop runs very hot, but boots very quickly.
