Minecraft EE 1.7.0.0 no longer works in virtual machines

Any particular reason why this decision was made to ban VM use? The message when attempting to run v1.7 is now "Sorry, this application cannot run under a Virtual Machine".

Unfortunately no teaching staff have a tablet device with >= 10GB of ram to run for a larger classroom of users. This decision is quite disappointing.

Do you have any alternative suggestions for getting this to run with big classrooms now that you've banned the ability to leverage school server infrastructure?

  Hello,

   

  We did not intentionally ban VMs. What VM solution are you using (Hyper-V, WMWare or other).  We confirmed that this works on Hyper-V

  Looking at Minecraft EE, looks like a new version has just come out 1.7.1.0. Yay, our VM is working again!
