Now that I see what vmware can do for me, I think I >will< start
over....with a production size install (I only sized the virtual drive for a
minimal windoze install). I want to start playing with some more robust
windows applications and see if I come across any stumbling blocks. If they
fix the disk i/o speed so that it will be reasonably close to real life
speed (memory paging speed is abysmal), I would see no reason whatsover that
I couldn't use vmware as my permanent windows solution. On the other
hand...paging speed may be fixable by moving to 256MB from my current 128MB
physical memory configuration.
