Windows 8 Dev. Preview Hands on & Compatibility

[spectre51]

Is anyone else having trouble connecting to wifi. Installed on my MBP 11 13", everything working fine except for wifi, Win 8 is pretty much useless without internet. I need help.

Oh yeah, installed with bootcamp

I downloaded the latest windows support software (bootcamp driver package) and installed it using windows 7 compatibility and wireless is working on my 2011 13" MBP.

Could anyone please inform me about how to install drivers without re-installing windows=

I installed it through virtualbox, everything went fine, but now I assume that I need to install the drivers through the .iso file for windows 8. When I try to open the .iso it says that I need at least 20gb free memory and I only chose 20gb while installing it..

So my question is, can I download the drivers from somewhere else?

With the drivers I mean those that enables me to use internet etc..

for VMWare, did you install their tools?

Yes, VMware Tools installed just fine.

In Boot Camp I tried installing MacDrive 8, 9 and Paragon HFS for Windows without success. In fact, Paragon HFS for Windows caused my system to go into an endless loop upon restarting, with Windows 8 claiming it was "attempting to repair". I've since gone back to Windows 7, but added the Windows Explorer ribbon using the STDU Explorer utility, and am toying with NewGen's Metro UI option, which has allowed me to add tiles for each of my preferred applications within easy reach. Kind of buggy but a fun alternative to Windows 8 without the driver hassles.
