Speed up VirtualPC by using Windows NT 4 Desktop
Authored by: chrismalanga on Feb 26, '04 04:26:32PM

This is a GREAT HINT!

I have tried all flavors of Windows on Virtual PC (95, 98, 2000, XP) and they all were too slow for my liking. Today, I installed Windows NT 4 and WOW, what a difference. I am experiencing the same fast response as the hint author. Apps run faster, and the GUI is really fast on a Powerbook G4/550.

Thanks for this hint!

I was always under the impression that Windows 2000 Pro was the most efficient under Virtual PC, but never really tried NT4 as I associated it with server usage, not for applications. Looking forward to VPC7. I have a G5 now.
