Installing Windows 8 on a VirtualBox Virtual Machine. This is using VirtualBox 4.2.6 for Mac OS X. The installation is simple, but you will need to set aside 30 to 40 minutes. I've sped things up where possible, but this video still takes just under 8 minutes. There are a number of virtual machine reboots involved. Here I'm using the 32bit version of Windows 8. This version only requires 1GB of ram.
