Thanks for excellent article.
I am waiting delivery of my 512GB retina today and am searching for info to how to make it dual boot.
I am .NET developer learning iOS.
so Macbook is very important to have to develop for iOS but when on the go - I cannot take two laptops with me.
So I have no other options but I have to install win 8 on another logical drive.
I want to say - it is not "sadism" - it is pragmatical and normal thing and I have to do it.
You did not say in the article whether you were able to:
1) install drivers for touchpad
2) use thunderbolt outputs from win 8 for use with external monitors.

Is the above possible?

Also as keyboard does not have "windows" button. how you access start screen in Win 8?

Thanks
