Yeah, I saw that after I bought the Workstation upgrade and installed Win8 in the virtual environment and tried to get Hyper-V up and running. So basically no hope? [Sigh] Well, there goes my entire weekend down the drain. And $120 to boot.
This happens occasionally. I get an idea in my head and won't let it go and end up burning a whole weekend trying to make it work and failing. Repeatedly. Still, I think it should be possible to emulate SLAT and anything else in pure software.
