@ichbindasauge - It might be worthwhile keeping one eye on what's happening in the Windows Ten space. The issue of invoking Metro apps from legacy software was raised at the Win10 corporate briefing I attended. The briefing was run under Chatham House rules, so all I'll say is that there was no MS blood split over this issue.

I'm raising it here because I noticed jimbo45 has a shortcut to calibre on his Win8.1 clone desktop, see ==>>, Free Conversion tool from RUNNING machine to vmware VM. So it might be worth asking jimbo45 if he knows anything - he is also active at the Windows Seven forums and no doubt at Windows Eight too.

BTW : I'm thinking of using WMWare's VCenter to run Win10 Preview - I like the idea of a CloneThisWindowsHere VM solution.
