Hello Dennis,
I've run the TX-SDK-V2 evaluation kit with Virtual XP download / install on a Windows 7 machine. I've not tried the Windows 8 operating system and I'm not sure if it has a Virtual XP feature or not? When I research this, here is what I found:

http://lifehacker.com/5965889/how-to-run-windows-xp-for-free-in-windows-8
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/hyper-v-run-virtual-machines
Is this something you can research and find out?
Regards,
Hooman
