I would dual boot, windows is slow in a VM
I would have thought that Linux would use one core while Windows used the
other, if run in a VM. Am I wrong? That would be fast enough for what I'm
doing.
Windows is fast in a VM. Xp is a tad slow, Vista is fairly quick, 7
screams. This is using either KVM or virtualbox as the virt platform.
Virtualbox is nice (seamless windows and what not). Make sure to run the
latest version.
Are there some other issues I should be aware of?
Not really. Linux on the bare metal, virtualbox for virt platform rocks.
Windows is super stable in a VM. Far more so then on bare metal. In fact
I think Windows should only be run virtualized. Performance is really
good, and security advantages are unbeatable (rollback and such).
More input, please; I'd like to move forward today.
Thanks.
Jeff
