Speed up VirtualPC by using Windows NT 4 Desktop
Authored by: bakalite on Feb 27, '04 02:46:32AM

Thanks for the hint. I haven't tried it, but if it does I'll be very happy. I only use winblows once in a blue moon, but when I do I am always aggravated at how long everything takes on VPC. As you have pointed out, if you are running windows on vpc you probably don't need a lot of fancy stuff, you're running a basic app that is not available on the mac (in my case, SCUBA planning software such as decoplanner).

Now for the difficult question. Is NT4 still commercially available? It doesn't sound like it, from what I'm reading here, and I for one don't have old copies of windows sitting around (I do have system 6 though, if someone is running a MacSE30). Soooo, where would one get NT4 to try out this hint?

If you know someone who has an MSDN membership (which is a pretty good deal IMHO) and a PC, you can probably download NT 4 from the MSDN subscribers site.
