Get to Know Windows 8 Without Installing Developer Preview

Windows 8 Simulator is a tool that lets you preview what Windows 8 looks and functions like, if you’re on a version older than Windows 8. Traditionally, users wanting to get a preview of the latest Windows OS would have to do a hard drive partition to download and install the developer preview. But with a simulator tool like this, there is no need for such segmentations. The simulator launches a small window from where you can access the virtual OS.
