First of all, I'm not a windows fan. I just want to try windows 8. But I can't boot the usb after extracting the developer release with Unetbootin. The blogs mention a Windows 7 USB DVD tool which doesn't run with wine.

Crazy answer, Install VirtualBox, Install Win8 to VBox, Boot new VBox image, use the Windows7 USB DVD tool, and install to machine.
