Hello,

I want to try out Windows 8. If I install Oracle's Virtualbox is virtual Windows 8 free or do I have to pay to use it and if so how much?

Thank You!

You should be able to install Windows 8 for 30 days before having to enter a key for it. Or maybe use the developer preview(I am not sure if they have a hard date or just a 30 month thing[the dev preview had a longer time to try].).

ThomasJ93, Watch it when using terms like "or get it the illegal way" as the forum rules frown on that type of comment.

It was possible to use previous Windows versions for 30 days without a key. With the Win 8 installs I've done, I had to enter the product key before being able to install.

Just to clarify, I don't promote using illegal versions of Windows. I was just mentioning an alternative. Since the OP only wishes to try it, pirating it doesn't seem like a big deal to me in this case.

Yes, they certainly do frown upon those kinds of comments.

@ Thomas,

Please do not encourage piracy here. Lets keep it all legal :)
