I have several PCs that I run VPC with a guest XP Pro OS. Most of the PCs have XP Pro as a Host OS, one is Win2ksp4. I do not perform any production related work using the VPC sessions, but I do a lot of installation and run-time testing with various levels of RAM. Having said that I can say that the VPC systems are stable enough for me to run various production processes if I had to, but I opt to use "real machines" thus far for my production stuff.
I also have several older OS version VPCs I run, all the way back to Windows 3.1 (under DOS 6.0). On top of that I also have Linspire v-4.5 and v-5.0 as Linux VPCs to test file sharing interoperability, etc., at times. Oh, by the way, I finally bumped each of my PCs to a minimum of 2Gb so I could run Vista Super-Duper under any of my 2000/XP Pro host OS PCs. Gotta have the horsepower to handle all that Vista demand under VPC. Gil > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Pablo H.
