    Funny you blog about this when Virtal PC is the one environment it won't run in. I came here for info on how to get it working under Virtual PC on windows 7 but no luck.

    anon - True that.  However - it will run in Hyper-V which is also part of the Windows 8 Consumer Preview. Cheers, Ben

    Hi Ben, is Hyper-V part of the Windows 8 (not server) consumer preview? I don't see references to it anywhere, but had heard it will be.

    Right, should have read the manual first. I went to "Turn Windows Features On or Off" and ticked Hyper-V, and now my life is better. Source: technet.microsoft.com/.../hh857623.aspx

    It appears that RemoteFX is not supported in the Windows 8 Consumer Preview's HyperV, which is very disappointing. Can you confirm this, and if it's true, explain the rationale for this decision.
