Nice! In practice that just meant I always switched to x86.

'Managed return value inspection' is a nice enhancement too.

Ha thanks, this was really frustrating indeed.
I was wondering why I would want to upgrade from 2012 because windows 8.1 isn't it. Now I know.
Does this imply there will be a 64 bit VS? Or will it just take place entirely in an emulator?
x64 is one of the 'build platforms' for .NET projects in Visual Studio:

   With Visual Studio 2013 Preview, you can now use [Edit and Continue] with x64, 
   AnyCPU, and (of course) x86 projects.

lostoptimist surely meant running visual studio itself as a 64 bit process to use more than 4 gb of ram
