So if you are like me and you can't live without Hyper-V, then there are some things you miss going to Windows 2008 and using it as your desktop. I was searching for a tool that would allow me to use LiveWriter on 2008 today and I came across an awesome website. Basically, this site has all of the things you need. In addition, there is a tool that allows you do all of the hacks and edits you need without doing all of the leg work.
Freaking amazing.
Happy Coding!
