Windows 8 - Cisco VPN Client - Failed to enable virtual adapter

So i installed Windows 8 release preview on my desktop a few days ago and so far i've been quite impressed with it.
One problem that i've come across so far is that after upgrading, Cisco vpn client stopped working with a "Failed to enable Virtual Adapter" error when i tried to connect to any vpn.

This is massively annoying for me as i use Cisco vpn client to connect to the network at work.
Fortunately after some frantic googling i managed to find a workaround.
Fire up the registry editor and navigate to the following path.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CVirtA
Modify the DisplayName key

For 64bit Windows, edit the key so that it reads "Cisco Systems VPN Adapter for 64-bit Windows", or for x86 "Cisco Systems VPN Adapter"

Now open the vpn client and try connecting again. It should work now.
