Oh wow I didn't realize the preview was publicly available. I'll try to whip something up this weekend! Thanks paul.

Tracking this…

No dice. Could not get this to work at all, and was definitely not sure I had the legal rights to distribute a VHD. Maybe soon MS will add IE10 to their free dev VHD program, but until then I can't do anything to support this unfortunately.

What about now? ~ 2 months later
from ievms.
The best I could do is automate the download and mounting of the Win 8 Release Preview ISO in a copy of the Win7 VM. Then you could run the installer and presumably reboot to Win 8 with IE10. However, the Win 8 release is only a couple of days away, and I suspect they won't be offering the Release Preview for download after that. Hopefully though, they'll add a IE testing VHD to their compat program once it's released.
That being said, I'm downloading the ISO now to see what I can do. I might be able to automate the Win 8 install by creating my own ISO that runs the AIK from Win 7. But you'll still have to boot the VM and launch the automated installer yourself, similarly to how the IE6 VM requires the network drivers to be installed manually. We'll see.

I don't get how it's different from what you do now. Start a download of http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=251533 (32 bit) or http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=251532 (64)

Or am I missing something?

OK, I was missing something. But I suggest you use the createMachine method of VirtualBox. https://www.virtualbox.org/sdkref/interface_i_virtual_box.html#15b6b59f23252430fcf2a56e8b69459b
Here is my .vbox file for the 32bit edition - perhaps you can use that as a settingsFile.

+1 we are starting to get javascript errors reported on ie10 and I don't have any way to run it!
from ievms.
@scottschulthess You can either manually install Windows 8 Release Preview in VirtualBox (like I have) or try your luck with Compat Inspector from MS.
I don't think the Windows 8 Release Preview is at MS site anymore but it can be found at softpedia ect. Note, that you'll get a beta version of IE10 which might not behave as IE10 final.
from ievms.
You can download the Windows 8 Release Preview from the links in comment #26 (comment). That will give you a beta of IE10. Or you can try your luck with Compat Inspector. I haven't tried it yet.
I haven't been able to find any VM with IE10. The ones on MS site are only from IE6-IE9.
from ievms.
what's the product key for installation?
from ievms.
Try one of these: http://www.addictivetips.com/news/windows-8-product-key/
I'm not sure it will work. MS had a guide on their web site but it now redirect to win8.
Good luck
Ps. A guide to Install : http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-install-windows-8-on-virtualbox/

IE10 is now available from Microsoft from here: http://www.modern.ie/virtualization-tools
