Thanks. > ps: Still not sold on this Linux under VM is faster than native > Windows. Probably best forget it though. I'm only claiming that sometimes tuned software in VM running Linux can be faster than the same software -- usually untuned -- in native Windows, which shouldn't be too hard to convince you of. In *theory* probably anything can be made as fast in Windows. at least if we ignores things like Windows' potentially expensive anti-virus stuff running, etc. I once had a user of the Cygwin version of Sage complain that it was insanely slow -- it turned out that antivirus software would scan every file Sage ever touched when it did anything, and this made everything slow.
