Remote debugging is implemented using the Windows Web Services API. The Windows
        Web Services API is a building block that applications, such as the remote debugger,
        can use to communicate over the network. This API is already included in Windows
        7, Windows Server 2008 R2 and later operating systems. For Windows Server 2008 
        (pre-R2), Windows provides updates to add
        this API. When running on Windows Server 2008, the remote debugger
        can determine the appropriate update for whatever system it is running, download
        the update, and install it. The update is less than 1.5 MB, and will take only a
        few minutes to execute.
