It's not slow at all if your CPU supports hardware virt. as someone else mentioned, and you have enough RAM. XP Mode is is a pre-packaged Virtual PC machine with the ability to present applications that are installed under it on the main Windows 7 menu, so from that perspective the applications are just there on the normal menu for the end-user. In addition to that has much better integration between guest and host OS than just running under normal Virtual PC. -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/1319700813.20847.140660991056...@webmail.messagingengine.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
