Any support for the new Win 8 developer preview? I'd love to have a development environment to start playing with new Metro App development..

We only support Mac os x at the moment as a client, and Linux as the dev environment.

That said, we will be looking to expand at some point. At this stage, we want to make sure we nail down the correct way of solving this problem.

Your homepage should definitely mention that Mac is the only supported client. Take a look at the OS statistics from the hits on your site - my guess is that most are not Mac.

Mac only really is a bummer. I realize that there's a large and vocal crowd of developers doing that, but there's also a big Windows/.NET crowd you could easily be targeting with this. Seeing this on Windows would be great, if you use the open source VirtualBox you can easily make cross platform images.

[sayhello]

You are right. Windows is on the roadmap. We wish we had it today!

We don't have windows right now, but I'm sure that will be a major driver for user acquisition.

As others said, it would be good if you indicated only OS X support. I just assumed from the screencast that at least any *nix system would work. Surely making a Linux client isn't far off, though, right?

[sayhello]

Yes indeed =)

So when you say "Build any stack and start coding in minutes" that's...aspirational? Or a bare-faced lie?

I suspect any attempts to distribute VMs of Visual Studio stack would result in nifty licensing costs.
