Hi,

You couldn't be more wrong ,there are not many companies that I despise more than M$ ,for numerous reasons.
(Too long to list for this post )
I also run several Linux distros.
The reasons I use XP, is for compatibility.I also help people with their PCs,
but not on a professional basis.

Well that was obviously a big mistake.You were running 2 OSs at the same time and
unless you were on a top of the line machine,you wouldn't fare
very well,considering the load that Vista puts on a PC.
Anyway,you being a service tech explains why you're stooping down to use it

BTW thanks for the linx in your previous post.
One thing I don't get here is how did you manage to post before me?
Did you change the timezone or is there something wrong with the message queue?
I posted 1½ hrs after your first post.Your 2nd post did not appear until 3 hrs after,which also was the time I received the email that a new msg was posted.
What gives?You may not know since you don't control the msg board or do you? Haha

Vista in a VM may be hard on a system,but for the most part running 2 or more OS at the same time is not a big deal, I do it regularly on a 1.8GHz system without any issues.

Good point Wilson. Good point. However?........come on. I mean if you want to impress meeeee?......... minority report (movie with badass computer imagination used) would have been the layout.
I dont git what you mean? you ask>? 2Advanced v5 - Attractor would be a good corporate example, these ppl have been doing things advanced for years, and I bet money, they could do it with under half the cpu usage vista uses. In short, don't defend these ppl. They should be ashamed of themselves, advancement should mean efficiency. A system that does more using less, should be the goal, but the problem is Microsoft has there hands in so many hardware manufactorers cookie bowls they have become stuck. Nvidia motherboards, Nvidia graphics cards, Asus cards, motherboards, etc, all the game software developers, ($$$$$$$). The point is, maybe I should* just admit that this is the way the world is, maybe I should just lie to myself to make being raped easier, but then again?..........naw....fug dat.
And really?....isn't this the problem with the world?......government parties have there hands lent out to lobbiest, for payouts and cooperation,.....that isn't much different then the way creative*, Asus, gaming companies, and all sorts of companies have helped Microsoft along the way of superpower by complying there hardware and softward to Microsoft OS. Vista is just microsofts way of returning the favors out they owe these corporations. Oh my?...........did I just rant.?........

Do you mean using VPC or VMWare on that machine?
Or do you have another method to run the OSs at the same time?

I use VPC at current.

xDamienx I admit you have many good points and i in no way condone the way that MS has "upgraded" used very loosely. I have seen many of the vista implemenations in a couple of linux gui mods, which use the video memory exclusively, and little to 0 cpu. i agree that this should be the direction of modern operating systems, but with RAM prices reasonably low and high MGz cpus becoming more and more affordable, it has become an acceptable trade off to MS, sadly.
