VirtualPC

As I said yesterday, my XP install under VirtualPC has a virus. Well today, I have an announcement. If you want a PC buy a PC! VirtualPC just doesn't cut it!

Running it on a 1GHz machine with 1GB of RAM (512MB dedicated to virtual PC) and nothing else is so slow that it takes HOURS just to scan the "system" for the viruses. Then once it's wasted hours McAffee runs out of memory and crashes preserving no state and hence leaving you at the starting line again (granted this is only minorly VirtualPC's fault). Ugh.
