Anybody using VPC for VS2005 Beta 2

[Bob Hanson]

Hi All,

Anybody using Virtual PC for development in VS2005. I am just checking
to get some views on speed, integrity before I spend time on this.

Thanks in advance,

Bob Hanson

I run an XP Pro 1GHz CPU 2G of RAM host and W2003 as the VPC 2004 guest and
its kind of pokey.

Haven't tried VS2005 beta 2 in VPC yet but a VPC machine with Windows
2000 Pro was so sluggish on my system (P4 3.2 GHz, 1 GB RAM) that it
was basically unusable for anything but testing.

VMware 5 is a lot faster than VPC, and it lets several sessions share a
certain amount of memory. It can also import VPC images.

Be advised though: when you create a new virtual machine using either
product, you first need to install Windows XP and then upgrade to SP2.

Make sure you have a licensed WinXP, or the whole thing will stop
working one day.
