I managed to install PP 2.0 on said laptop and by editing the ~/operator/tmc/python/vmcheck.py code to always indicate that VM is true, it works. Not sure if this change carries through rebooting. Its probably not the best way to do it and I might try the ctrl-alt-s just before the machine selection to see if that works for me too. Have to say, the whole thing works just like on the Tormach Mill at work, even dropbox and updating on-line. Speed is similar.
