The only way that the OS could effect that is better system calls ie: FireWire, USB, Video, disk, context switching, etc. As Neal correctly pointed out if Windows 7/8 uses more resources, then it might slow things down a little. The largest factor would be how much memory is being allocated for the guest OS. The rest of the resource usage should be better on 7/8. If you have disk space why not install both and see which one you like best. -darryl DE WA1GON _______________________________________________ Flexedge mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexedge_flex-radio.biz This is the FlexRadio Systems e-mail Reflector called FlexEdge.
