I would like to run Windows 8 within a virtual machine under Ubuntu.

My quick attempt with VMware failed.

Has anyone reached to run Windows 8 on Ubuntu?

ps: Microsoft just released a public preview of Windows 8 -- see http://dev.windows.com

Virtualbox didn't work for me, but VMWare did.

make sure to enable hardware virtualization in your BIOS
