Apparently V8 is out but all I can find is the Virtual appliance edition.
Is the full V8 free version out for installing on Bare Metal Server 2012 and if so where can I download?
Thanks.

There's no Virtual Appliance Edition. There's a unified Virtual SAN you can run on top of a hypervisor (converged) and bare metal (dedicated).

Never mind, I jumped on live chat and they clarified that the Virtual San is the new version and can be installed in a VM or on Bare Metal.
I was just a bit confused with the "Virtual" part as it seemed to imply that it was just a virtual appliance and the bare metal version was different.

VM is not a primary production scenario. We run on top of a hypervisor directly (like VMware Virtual SAN).

Editions would be unified quite soon after initial feedback. Dropdown would be just to keep track on your hypervisor of interest to provide you with a proper content and matching pre-sales engineer.
