Installing SharePoint 2013 on Windows 8
Installing SharePoint 2013 preview on Windows 8 is unsupported, although here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30345 it's listed. You need to install on either Server 2008 R2 SP1 or Server 2012 RC.
With Hyper-V support in Windows 8, why would you need to? Just virtualise the environment....

Well as always Microsoft has failed to listen to developers, yet again. "With Hyper-V support in Windows 8, why would you need to?" Because, as we've been saying for years, we want to set up a development machine and DON'T want to run a server OS just because of SharePoint. Virtualisation does not address this issue. If it did, why not just set up VMware on XP to run SharePoint 2013 cos there's no difference now is there?Anonymous
