[H] XP VM (was Re: Laptop processor)
I have no experience with the XP VM in Windows7 and have tried only a small number of programs on Win7 (and all have worked fine). Is the XP VM needed for much--are there many programs that don't work?

Scott, As for the Windows 7 XP VM, it sucks in comparison to Sun's VirtualBox or VMware. I myself have both Windows XP mode VM installed and Sun's VirtualBox installed. I use Sun VirtualBox for all my XP needs. Reason I need XP is the Works Database is not 100% compatible with Windows 7's way of networking.

Re: [H] XP VM (was Re: Laptop processor)
Gotcha, thanks Tim. I have to say, I've been really impressed with VirtualBox! My usage has been minimal (played through Myst and Riven in a Win98 virtualbox!) but it's worked very well. I also like Parallels Desktop for Mac, but am getting tired of the upgrade train! Had to upgrade to version 4.0 when Snow Leopard came out, and now there's a version 5.0 out.
