oops - sorry, you have to sign up to use the torrent site. Its free. seems you can use any dummy email address to register. Although i think after submitting your few details a message may come up instructing you to validate your email address. I didnt. As soon as i had submitted "my details" i immediately logged on with the username & password I supplied without going to check any email for an "activation" link.

OK, so I installed virtualbox, & then windows 8 within virtualbox.
All was fine until sound drivers were loaded. Things slowed down to less than a crawl - so I dumped that & went for boot camp.
Opened boot camp, crated a partition for windows 8 & loaded it ( just following the prompts).
Windows 8 installed seamlessly.
Loaded the Snow Leopard disk (the OS I run) to load the various drivers. All went seamlessly.
Windows 8 runs perfectly - however while running windows 8 the buttons (on MacBook pro) controlling volume, screen brightness & the eject button do not work.
Otherwise all is well.
