I can also confirm that the OOO-dev 3.4 x86_install_en-US r1293550 =
downloaded 2012-02-28 installs perfectly on a fresh Windows 8 Consumer =
Preview (64 bit) running under VirtualBox 4.1.8 on Windows 7 (64 bit).  =
The registration of start-menu entries is automatically turned into =
tiles on the Windows 8 Start page (see image -- the choice of dark blue =
default appears to be from my start page preferences).  There were no =
error messages during install (other than warnings because the package =
was a download on a network share and also not signed).  No errors =
occurred on first-run. =20

I successfully opened a WordPad-created ODT file containing a drawing =
and a small screen capture and resaved it.  I was not able to Save As =
... to a network share provided via the VM configuration.  That may have =
nothing to do with AOO.  I did the install from a network share.

The one annoyance is the continuing involvement of the user in choosing =
where the setup files are expanded.  This extra step is even more =
dissonant on Windows 8 than on Windows XP through Windows 7, and putting =
such junk on the user's desktop is just awful.  (In the image from that =
step, I have manually changed the Destination Folder.)
