Claire,

I'm afraid I have to agree with Tim when it comes to VPC. In most cases, VPC is too slow.


I'll third this motion. I've been installing Win XP Pro on my Mac (800 Mhz G4) *all day long*, and I'm only about mostly done with the Service Pack 2, much less get the VPC attached to the network and updated further. Plus <bleeping> VPC is sucking every processor cycle it can get it's greedy little hands on.

One major issue is the OS version you install. WinXP is a resource hog. My homebrew PC that was snappy with Win2k crawled under Win2k. VPC on my alBook runs Win98, Millennium, and Win2k well enough to use. WinXP isn't acceptable at all. In fact, I wouldn't even use WinXP on my dually G5.
