Logmein on Windows 7 RC

I'm kind of pathetic, I still have access to my workstation even when I'm on vacation and I needed to do a little bit of work while I was here. So I fired up Logmein only to discover it didn't like any of the credentials I had tried to give it.

A quick google later and I found that Windows 7 RC requires the computer's name be prefixed as the domain of the login credentials like so:

Lets suppose your username is bob and your computer's name is bobs-computer. In order to login you would have to use bobs-computer\bob in for the username field then simply bob's password for that username.

So I did manage to remote into my workstation to do some work and all is well.
