How to download Windows 8 on Windows XP

[Mayoor]

I have been using the Windows XP computer ever since the XP first came to market. I didn’t think that I will ever get such a good operating system after all. I also like the windows7 but I have installed in my laptop and I was very impressed by its GUI. Yesterday I have seen a video about Windows 8 on YouTube and it is excellent and contain very simply user interface. Is it possible for me to download the Windows 8 on Windows XP?
