Anyone install Windows 8 RTM on parallels 7?

Yes, I've done this today and, for the most part, it's working okay. Be sure to un-tick 'Express Installation' when installing, otherwise Windows setup will fail with an error "cannot find license terms" and get stuck in a reboot cycle.

Still a couple of issues with multiple monitor support at the moment, I'm hoping to get those resolve though. (running on a Retina Macbook Pro with 2 external displays)
 
I've resolved my issue with multiple monitors now - for anyone in a similar situation, I suggest that you do NOT re-configure any of the 'Full Screen' options before setup, instead:

- Install from the ISO (un-tick 'Express installation')
- Don't run in full-screen yet.
- Install Parallel Tools (Menu -> Virtual Machine -> Install Parallel Tools)
- Shut down the virtual machine.
- Reconfigure the machine, tick Full Screen -> Use all displays in full screen
- Restart the virtual machine
- Enter Full Screen mode

Can't find 'Express Installation' Check box. Where is it? I am going nuts with this. I will appreciate the help!
