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..

Olivier here, a stackrocket co-founder.

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.

is this just vagrant ( http://vagrantup.com ) as a service? How is this different/better than vagrant? Looks interesting.

You are right. It's very similar to vagrant. When we started implementing our idea, we did not know about vagrant.

The vagrant functionality is part of what we do, but we also have a hosted service and offer access control to your team. We also have a mechanism to synchronize changes between your envs

In addition to Olivier's comment, we will also have deployment option to popular cloud providers such as Heroku, PHPFog and EC2
