Not really though... he just explained that its not supported, not that it doesnt work or that no one else has done it. I know that technically theres nothing preventing it from working (short of the tuner part - which wasnt planning on using anyway). I was just curious if anyone else has given it a shot.
Just because it's not supported doesn't mean you shouldn't try it. It
does mean you should take a realistic assessment of your technical skills (we all think we've got great technical skills, I know, but if you look at some of the questions that are asked you'll realize that that's not the reality), and expect that there will be all sorts of bumps along the way that, honestly, nobody is going to help you with because we're not doing exactly what you are, in exactly the way you're doing it. At best, we'll point you in the right direction.
It also means that there are risks, some well-defined (mess around with your storage configuration in the MMC Disk Management snap-in and you're running a high risk of data loss), some not (messing with the security in your shares can produce subtle issues that you don't notice for weeks).
You should also come up with a set of reasonable goals that you think you're likely to be able to meet, and another set of "pie in the sky" goals if the realistic ones turn out to be too easy.
The one thing I will recommend very strongly is to not use Virtual PC. For what you want to do, you will need the guest operating system to start automatically with the host. Look at VMWare or Virtual Server instead, or some other virtualization technology that can be set up to start automatically on boot.
And don't expect amazing performance.
I'm not on the WHS team, I just post a lot. :)
