But then again this is just my personal thought !!! For some reason I see VMware is more suited for Linux where as VPC is better in terms of MS Windows !!!

VPC is sucks. Absolutely sucks. VirtualBox is *lot* better than VPC, is much faster. 2. Games will never work NOT because of resource sharing, but because VMs emulate a generic SVGA card. We still have a long way to go before 3D Accelerators can be emulated, even so - the performance will be pathetic. 3. Nice post :P 1. VPC is sucks. Absolutely sucks.

Which means that if you run XP on VPC and your machine hardware ram is of 1 gb then the performance of the VM will be slow as resources are shared between both Vista and XP. Secondly about games-games will not be as good as they will run on a native OS because of the resource sharing I mentioned. Thirdly the File copying bug of Vista has been rectified long back, I would strongly recommend that you update your Vista. Hi Bhushan :)
