So has anyone tried the new touch based windows preview yet? I've been meaning to check it out, particularly since i have a Playbook tablet and a remote desktop app which will allow me to actually use the touch functionality. But i dont want to install it over my current windows 7 and somehow screw myself over without realizing it.

For any of you tech oriented folks who've tried it, can you give a basic step by step of how install it separately without ruining my current windows setup? Will i need to create a separate partition, or will the setup do that for me?

here's the link for those who haven't yet seen it: Windows 8
