How much does running virtual machines slow down a pc, I have a 2Gig athlon with 1 gig of Ram, will I have to upgrade?
Also, does anyone know microsofts reasoning for IE6 not prompting users to upgrade. I used Windows Media Player 10 for about a year, because I don't like v11, and every week or 2 it would prompt me to update. It seems strange microsoft don't have the same update alerts in IE6. I think most people stick with IE6 out of ignorance, not stubbornness, and would be almost gone if the prompts were there.
