Let me get this right. Microsoft have given you a Windows 8 trial that
will at some point expire. At this point you either have to pay for the
release version or your PC will be useless because there is no
facility for returning to XP. Nice.


Its a preview.
They tell you to make sure you can revert using whatever method you like
before you install it.
Its like linux, they don't provide a method to revert either.
You either reinstall or restore a backup.

More den********(tm). Linux distros are available that are designed
explicitly for those who want to try before they commit irrevocably to a
full install of the OS. These distros offer fully reversible options such
as live CDs, installations that run only from ram disk or dual boot.
