I agree this is a timing and maybe communication mistake (did not RTFM the release notes yet with all the excitement), but at least we have the RTM now and not a delay hanging on (unfortunately) what is considered a low priority feature by MS, i.e. Server 2012 RC RRAS, DNS and DHCP and maybe you want a domain/AD too), then add another "internal" adapter visible by both VMs and the host. I had a similar problem with a Cisco cable modem but realized it was not capable/allowed to attach more than one device to it's Ethernet socket. The solution was to exclusively map the physical network adapter to a VM running NAT (in my case Windows People need to get pissed about Microsoft's handling of this or nothing will change. When the company decided to upgrade a bunch of people's routers without their consent, it was their OUTRAGE that caused the company Not the best solution, I know, but at least it would work.īob, you sound like a nice guy, but I respectfully disagree. Installing Win8 RP on it, and using the VM for the WMC capabilities, namely the TV tuner (I have an HD Homerun, which connects via ethernet, so I'd be fine there). I'm considering a hacky workaround, which would entail getting a second network card (since Hyper-V needs exclusive access to an ethernet port), using Hyper-V and Yeah, thankfully I installed it in a VM first, because WMC is essential for me as well. Apple doesn't treat their customers this way. THIS is why people are switching to Macs in droves.

Thanks for treating loyal customers like CRAP.

Thanks for the god damn COMMUNICATION in telling us that it wouldn't be available until GA. Thanks for making us PAY for something that used to be INCLUDED with the operating system. Thanks for putting WMC in the PRO product when it's the HOME users that use it the most. Thanks for making the BONEHEADED decision to extract WMC from Windows. Do you mean that I just wasted all this time and energy upgrading 3 PCs, to which I RELY on Media Center since it's how I watch and record TV in my house?
