Allow connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with

Network Level Authentication (assuming your host OS is either Windows

7 or Vista) or Allow connections from computers running any version of

Remote Desktop (for XP and earlier). When you’re done, minimize the Vir-

tual PC session.

Then on the host OS, start Remote Desktop (see Chapter 7) by typing mstsc

into the Start menu Search box and pressing Enter. Before you connect, click

Options, choose the Display tab, and make sure the Colors setting is set to

Highest Quality (32 bit). Then choose the Experience tab and turn on all

the options here (or just choose LAN from the drop-down list).

When you’re done, choose the General tab, type the computer name of the

virtualized PC into the Computer field, and click Connect. Type in your login

credentials when prompted, and then enjoy Glass in a window!

For instance, UA might bring to your attention that your printer, antivirus

software, backup software, CD burning software, and perhaps your Bluetooth

adapter are all unsupported on Windows 7. So, this means you’ll definitely

your CD burning software (Chapter 4). You’ll also need to check with the

manufacturers of your printer and Bluetooth adapter to see whether they’ve

released native Windows 7 drivers (in nearly all cases, native Vista drivers will
