So many tips in one little blog entry

I was reading this blog entry by Jon Galloway, and discovered so much useful info in one post that i just had to link it.

Executive summary:

1) A Virtual PC running XP SP2 (the vpc, not the host) will run very slowly, due to an incompatability with the VM Additions.

2) Steal the VM Additions out of Virtual Server 2005 and install them, and things are good again. Just grab the 180 day eval download :)

3) If you are happy to wait, coming out very soon now (days, not weeks) is SP1 for VPC2004.

Well, I find it interesting, anyway :)

I use VirtualPC for all my home working, so this is pretty significant! Thanks for the link.
