I'm an IT Security and Controls Engineer, working on Enterprise Antivirus at Ford, but I've been in just about every part of IT since 1990. I think that dual-booting Win7 and Win8 is a good, safe way to test the new OS. Since Ford has just migrated to Windows 7, I don't see them moving 350k+ endpoints to Win8, but whatever the next OS (Win 9?) from M$ will incorporate enough of Win8, that I think it's a good career decision to learn as much about it as I can.

I'll kick the tires and then run a bunch of tests against the Win8 antivirus/antimalware (Windows Defender) to see how it does. I'll test extensively with Symantec and McAfee and learn as much as I can about how Win8 works.
