I am also noting increases in graphics performance, less artifacts. One point to note for those running Windows 7 HVM is that Qubes Windows Tools 3.2.0.2 seems to be more stable than 3.0.4.1 I had issues with the older windows tools in 3.1 but the problems got worse in 3.2. The VM would randomly crash. Since updating windows tools it has not crashed yet. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
