Does Start8 work on Release Preview?

October 26, 2012 1:26 AM from

I have Windows 8 RP installed on VirtualBox. Can I try out Start8 there or does it have to be the final retail Windows 8?

I ran the Start8 installer and activated the 30-day trial and got the configuration box, but it doesn't seem to work.

Thanks.

EDIT: Ah, it just required a Restart. No problems then. It works great.

Yes it works nicely on Release Preview. Only thing is the hot corners aren't correctly suppressed. I mean they are but Close button, Aero Peek, top left corners of desktop apps also stop working.
