I've been running it in VB since release and it runs without problems. I didn't try VMWare.

I did get it to work in VB but I found it slow and problematic.

However, have since discovered how to do a VHD boot and now dual boot with Win 7 and Developer Preview until the CP get released next week.

Do you only have to attach the VHD once immediately prior to installing Windows 8 or do you have to attach it every time you want to use it?

Attach it once, apply the install.wim image using imagex and then you can detach it. Modify your boot records using bcdedit and away you go. You can re-attach at anytime should you wish. You don't need it attached to boot from it.
