Win8 is not supported by the installer at the moment for not so good
reasons: we need to detect the OS version to pick the right drivers to
install, but the nsis version in f18 did not have the needed macros for
Win8 detection. In addition to that, I think the virtio-win 0.59 ISO does
not contain Win8 builds of the drivers. Maybe this is all fixed in f19,
I'll have to check...
