Malkie - yes, I have VDos working on Win8 on my notebook, works fine.
The "slow" problem carries to all the platforms I use it on, the
developer isn't quite sure what is causing it but recognizes that it
is there. Since it's not an issue across the board in general usage
and doesn't seem to impact the more frequent uses of the product, has
no particular reason to pursue it.

Likewise, I haven't experience VDos working slow on Win7-64bit.
What about Windows 8? Would DP work at least like it does on
Win7-64bit using
VDos?
